They changed it, in the beginning it was using the text and not ocr

For example this app could be set as assistant and get the raw text https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weberdo.apps.copy

But only the app set on system as assistant can do it

I was very disappointed when they changed it around 2018 as it produced garbage in my language when it was working so good…
