TC Text Extractor

TC Text Extractor is a multi-source text, document, binary string, screen region, and regex pattern extraction utility for Linux.
An independent Linux alternative inspired by PowerToys Text Extractor for extracting text from screen captures, images, structured documents, and binary files.

Genuine Implemented Linux Features:
- Multi-Format Document & File Text Extraction: Reads real files from your user home directory and system documentation paths, extracting clean text from plain text/configs, HTML/XML/SVG DOM trees, JSON structures, DOCX/ODT/EPUB XML archives, and decompressed PDF FlateDecode text streams (Tj/TJ operators).
- Screen & Image Region Capture with Pillow Line Segmentation: Captures live Linux desktop regions via QScreen.grabWindow(0) or loads PNG/JPG/BMP/WEBP images, computing 256-bin luminance histograms, Otsu contrast binarization, and horizontal/vertical projection bounding boxes for text lines and word clusters, with optional host Tesseract OCR integration when /usr/bin/tesseract is installed.
- Binary & ELF Printable String Inspector: Extracts contiguous printable ASCII and multi-byte UTF-8 strings with exact hexadecimal byte offsets, Shannon byte entropy, magic header bytes, and SHA-256 checksums.
- Pattern, Email, URL, Path & Regex Miner: Scans extracted text or entire folders for URLs, email addresses, IPv4 addresses, Linux filesystem paths, hex digests, semantic versions, and custom regular expressions with one-click clipboard copy and TXT/CSV/JSON export.
- Bilingual Interface: Instant Vietnamese and English UI toggle.
