Hello maintainers/developers of the GImageReader project , my name is Ahmed Farah, I'm reaching out to you with regards to an issue I'm currently facing the issue is as follows, I navigate to my dropbox or downloads folder within my fileManager, I select a pdf document that's a scanned image I right click on it using the Shift+F10 KeyBoardShortCut I'm than presented with the open with application dialog I'm than given a list of the recomended applications that arre installed on my PopOS22.04LTS system, and one of them is GImageReader so I choose GImageReader to open the pdf file that I would like to have OCR performed on, it. I would be able to navigate the UI of GImageReader using orca, which is a ScreenReader that is pre-packaged with a lot of GNU/Linux distributions and desktops prior to facing the issue I'm facing now which is trying to find the recognize button to recognize image based pdf that I want to have text extracted from. I appreciate your efforts and I'm hoping that as GImageReader evolves overtime, that strong ScreenReader support is prioritized in upcoming versions of GImageReader. Thanks and I look forward to hearing your feedback. Best wishes Ahmed.
