-The [PhotoInfo.detected_text()](#detected_text_method) and the `{detected_text}` template will perform text detection on the photos in your library. Text detection is a slow process so to avoid unnecessary re-processing of photos, osxphotos will cache the results of the text detection process as an extended attribute on the photo image file.  Extended attributes do not modify the actual file.  The extended attribute is named `osxphotos.metadata:detected_text` and can be viewed using the built-in [xattr](https://ss64.com/osx/xattr.html) command or my [osxmetadata](https://github.com/RhetTbull/osxmetadata) tool.

+# Developer Notes for osxphotos
+
+These are notes for developers working on osxphotos. They're mostly to help me remember how to do things in this repo but will be useful to anyone who wants to contribute to osxphotos.
+
+## Installing osxphotos
+
+- Clone the repo: `git clone git@github.com:RhetTbull/osxphotos.git`
+- Create a virtual environment and activate it: `python3 -m venv venv` then `source venv/bin/activate`.  I use [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) with [pyenv-virtualenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-virtualenv) to manage my virtual environments
+- Install the requirements: `pip install -r requirements.txt`
+- Install the development requirements: `pip install -r requirements-dev.txt`
+- Install osxphotos: `pip install -e .`
+
+## Running tests
+
+- Run all tests: `pytest`
+
+See the [test README.md](tests/README.md) for more information on running tests.
+
+## Building the package
+
+- Run `./build.sh` to run the build script.
+
+## Other Notes
+
+[cogapp](https://nedbatchelder.com/code/cog/index.html) is used to update the README.md and other files. cog will be called from the build script as needed.
