Another variant of the scripts floating around that I've been using to scratch the same itch: #!/bin/bash # Performs Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on a freely chosen # screen area and copies the recognized text to the clipboard. # # Dependencies: sudo apt install gnome-screenshot tesseract-ocr xclip IMAGE_FILE="/tmp/ocr.png" gnome-screenshot --area --file "$IMAGE_FILE" tesseract "$IMAGE_FILE" - | xclip -rmlastnl -selection clipboard rm -f "$IMAGE_FILE"
