This is gorgeous, I've used flame shot for years, and constantly use xclip, never once thought about sticking OCR in the middle.

Awesome stuff.

Thanks for this!!

I just realized I can use the following command to OCR a bitmap in the clipboard and put the text back into the clipboard.

xclip -out -selection clipboard -t image/bmp
| tesseract stdin stdout -l eng
| xclip -in -selection clipboard

This works in my linux VM (in Virtualbox on my work laptop) using bi-directional shared clipboard without touching my Windows software.

Mind blown!!

Holler holler get doller. Thank you very much. Now I just need a way to use a custom image host.
