Gyazo

/nota-techconf/Gyazo evolves into an instant image discovery service /villagepump/Benefits of using Gyazo for anything

• I think it’s interesting, but it seems like it can be done with Google Photos.

  • Oh, I just noticed that OCR is available in Google Photos.
  • Update: Regarding this, [/villagepump/Reasons to use Gyazo instead of Google Photos](https://scrapbox.io/villagepump/Google PhotosではなくGyazoを使う理由)
    • To summarize,

      • Google Photos is a photo management system, while Gyazo is a system that allows you to organize all kinds of information using images (masui).

      • It says “all kinds of information,” but it seems like the main focus is on textual information (OCR).

• Well, since it’s being highly recommended, I signed up for a one-month free trial of Gyazo Pro.

• Moving Image Data to Gyazo

• Thoughts:

  • Pros:
    • The related images feature is great, something that Google Photos doesn’t have.
    • They’re making an effort to capture the context of the image mechanically, like the names of the tabs open when taking a screenshot.
    • /daiiz/Organizing things using Gyazo as an image-based viewer

      • An image viewer that seems capable of organizing things.

      • When looking at the related images displayed below a photo, I naturally want to add tags.

      • The metadata, such as the source URL and page title of the screenshot, is easy to see.

      • It gives a sense of being able to find things anytime by uploading them.

      • I see (blu3mo).
  • Cons:
    • I don’t know the method for Moving Image Data to Gyazo or how to keep it constantly synchronized after moving.
      • This seems possible by tinkering with the Gyazo API.
    • Gyazo’s Screenshot is laggy and inconvenient compared to the default on Mac.

• In my case, it seems like Making Google Photos Images Flow into Gyazo is the best option.

  • Pros:
    • I can use the screenshot feature on Mac.
    • I don’t have to set up synchronization between Gyazo and each device.
    • I can benefit from Gyazo’s powerful OCR and its design philosophy for finding information.
  • Cons:
    • When taking a screenshot and pasting it into Scrapbox, the same image gets uploaded to Gyazo twice.
    • The metadata associated with Gyazo screenshots doesn’t remain in the case of Mac screenshots.
      • It would be great if Saving Metadata in Screenshots was possible.

• On 20220330, I was granted permanent Gyazo Pro access again during my internship at Nota, so I used it for a month.

  • It’s really good (blu3mo)(blu3mo).
    • It was significant to discover that I can sync my Android photo folder with Gyazo.
  • It’s a great place as a “location where screenshots and smartphone camera images are centrally managed and searchable with OCR.”
  • There are some inconveniences as mentioned in 60a23f4779e113000016c785.
    • However, for now, the convenience of OCR search outweighs the inconveniences, so I’m using it (blu3mo).
  • I was considering registering for Gyazo Pro after the internship, but it seems to be permanently free even after leaving the company, which is great.
