All device types

Describe the feature

Hi all, the Apple OS's have a fantastic inbuilt OCR feature, including reading text directly from images via Live Text. Paperback is a fantastic resource for consuming Japanese language content, but the current 'method' of using OCR with Paperback is to manually save and export each page as an image, and then use OCR in an external app.

If possible, the integration of OCR capabilities would drastically improve this experience.

Feature Motivation

OCR support directly within Paperback would greatly increase lookups for complicated Kanji and/or other language vocabulary. This would also increase Paperback's appeal as a tool for language learning as well as media consumption.

Anything Else?
