First of all, we're now using ImageMagick to improve the screenshot so that Tesseract has an esier time to recognize the text. The resulting image of this post-processing is a scaled up black-and-white version with the backgrounds almost entirely removed and the text edges a bit blurred, so the screen shots now more or less resemble an image from a scanner rather. This is what Tesseract is trained for by default. As mentioned in the previous commit we now also use Tesseract 4, which further improves the quality of text recognition. I've spent countless hours just to test different postprocessing variants and testing what works best for our tests and this is the one that worked best so far. It's certainly not perfect and I'd like to avoid the scaling step but we're way better off than before. In addition to this, the OCR process is now done without an intermediate file, solely using pipes. I've tested this using the following VM tests which have OCR enabled: * nixos/tests/chromium.nix -A stable * nixos/tests/emacs-daemon.nix * nixos/tests/installer.nix -A luksroot * nixos/tests/lightdm.nix * nixos/tests/plasma5.nix * nixos/tests/sddm.nix All of the tests still succeed and comparing some of the recognition results to the earlier results it now also detects a lot more text than before this commit.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-17.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
