Q&A:

Linux / Mac

  • Q1: Linux won't run after installing a new version?
    Uninstall Sunny version 1.x or earlier, and try removing old configuration files rm -rf ~/.config/Sunny/*

  • Q2: On Ubuntu 24.04, screenshots capture a white desktop. Why?
    To support more Linux distributions, Sunny 1-2.x currently supports only x11 and does not support Wayland (Ubuntu's default). Switch to x11 with the following steps (details in #55:

    sudo vim /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
# Uncomment the line: WaylandEnable=false, then save the file.
sudo systemctl restart gdm3  # Reboot the system

  • Q3: How can I use Sunny on non-Debian-based distributions?
    Please download and use the sunny_x64.AppImage package. For a list of supported Linux distributions, refer to supportp_platform.

  • Q4: How can I download Sunny for ARM and LOONGSON chips?
    You can download v1.6.2. When build machines become available, version 2.x will also be uploaded.

  • Q5: Why can’t Sunny run on my Mac?
    Currently, Sunny supports only Intel-based Macs and does not support M-series chips.

  • ps: The next version is expected to support Mac's M-series chips and the Linux Wayland architecture.

Offline OCR (CPU & GPU)

Extract text from images using a local offline engine.

  • No registration or key input required.
  • Fully offline, with all processing done locally.
  • Supports both CPU and GPU modes:
    • CPU Version: Highly compatible, uses less memory, processes single images quickly but is slower for batch processing (recommended for general users).
    • GPU Version: Supports NVIDIA GPUs, uses more memory, but processes batch images significantly faster (1/2 to 1/3 the time of the CPU version, recommended for advanced users with NVIDIA cards).
  • Only supports 64-bit Windows systems. Both versions handle single and batch image recognition. Simply drag and drop images into the window.
