chrome-lens-ocr's Issues

Translate support

Lens supports translation (via Google translator). Is it possible to update sharexjs so that I can send an image and receive either text or translation?

Script fails because there is no cookies.json file

Every time I capture a region I get an error about how cookies.json doesn't exist

Response doesn't always return full text causing error

Hi, thank you for the wonderful package!

Sadly it failed on parsing (at least for me), apparently the problem comes from core.js:318

I'm trying to get the new values right, but it might take a while. Here's my version of the object inside AF data callback obj_clean.json

I don't know if the response changed for everyone else 🤔

Error sharexjs

At startup, this is the error

Error occurred:
ReferenceError: File is not defined
    at Lens.scanByData (file:///G:/My%20Projects/chrome-lens-ocr/src/core.js:215:22)
    at Lens.scanByBuffer (file:///G:/My%20Projects/chrome-lens-ocr/src/index.js:48:21)
    at async file:///G:/My%20Projects/chrome-lens-ocr/sharex.js:32:18

Currently european IPs cannot use endpoint because of cookie regulations

Node version: 20.11.0

Steps performed:

1. Downloaded repository and extracted
2. Ran npm install
   
3. Used the command node sharex.js "F:\Downloads\chrome-lens-ocr-main\chrome-lens-ocr-main\shrimple.png"
4. Get this error in console
   

I dumped the google lens response into an html file and it looks like a 500 error page

I started testing stuff in postman and realised it was redirecting me to a cookie consent page, it would go away if I set my IP as inside the US, and return back if I went back to my real IP (Germany)

LensError: Could not parse response: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading '0')

Sometimes when you i do requests . it doesnt retun the JSON object but instead it returns and error and some html body ,

it works like 3-4 times and then the issue appears , its like a russian roullete , sometimes i get it 3 times in a row and sometimes i dont get it in like 200 tries ( using the same picture over and over again )

TypeScript support

Currently you have to depend on README to know the APIs, by adding types you can help save time in development. It should be easy since everything is already documented though. Should I make a PR?
