Microsoft has open-sourced MarkItDown, a state-of-the-art application designed to convert various file types into Markdown format for seamless integration, collaboration, and accessibility. The tool supports multiple file formats, including PDFs, PowerPoint presentations, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, images, audio, HTML, text-based formats, and ZIP files, making it a versatile utility for users across different domains.
OpenRecall is an open-source software that aims to be a privacy-focused alternative to Microsoft's Recall feature. It captures the user's digital history, processes text and images using OCR, and allows users to find specific information by searching for relevant keywords. Currently, it stores data locally but does not encrypt it. It is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
