Frog

Frog is open-source software for Linux in the education category. It extracts text from images, websites, videos, and QR codes by taking a picture of the source. This provides a way to turn visual or displayed material into text for educational use.

Users can apply the same picture-based process to different kinds of source material. The supported sources include ordinary images, web content, video content, and QR codes. Frog is therefore suited to situations where written information is presented visually rather than as directly selectable text.

Its open-source license identifies Frog as software based on openly available source code. For Linux users, this places the program within a platform where open-source applications are commonly used and shared. Its education classification reflects its focus on extracting text from material that may be encountered during learning or study.

MirrorNest mirrors the official Frog build directly on its own storage. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before it is published. This gives Linux users a MirrorNest copy of the official build while keeping the distribution process focused on the stated source and safety check.
