Riven OCR

An OCR tool to quickly extract Riven mod stats from Warframe screenshots

Background (Why)

• Playing Warframe and needed to quickly catalog Riven mod stats
• Manual typing was tedious and error-prone
• Wanted to experiment with OCR technology and see if AI could help build tools faster

What I Built

• Screenshot capture and OCR processing
• Stat extraction and formatting
• Simple UI for quick usage
• Built with Python and Tesseract OCR
• Completed in approximately 2 weeks

Outcome (Result)

• Used personally for several months
• Shared with a few friends in the Warframe community
• No ongoing costs (local tool)
• Stopped using when game priorities shifted

Key Takeaways

• OCR accuracy depends heavily on consistent input formatting
• Building tools for personal use has different quality bars than public products
• Quick iteration with AI assistance made the project viable as a solo effort
