Accessibility Permission

This app requires the usage of Android accessibility service to read available texts on the screen. The Android accessibility framework gives information about text content text elements on the screen however on Android versions older than Android 11, the accessibility service does not provide images or visuals on the screen. Therefore in older Android versions OCR mode or image-to-text recognition mode requests permission from the user for a screen capturing/recording session to capture graphical content on the screen almost every time the user uses OCR mode (this is a required limitation from Android OS). The screen recording gets processed in real-time within the device and does not persist anywhere after use.

On Android 11 and newer however the Android accessibility allows to capture screenshots of the screen when needed without prompting the user for granting permission for screen capture unlike in older Android versions.
