Text Snip

Copy text from anywhere on screen. Adds a "Recognize Text" toggle to GNOME's screenshot UI: with it on, the selected area, screen or window is turned into text instead of an image, shown in a dialog and copied to the clipboard. Super+Shift+T opens the screenshot UI with the toggle already on. Recognition runs locally with Tesseract, which must be installed: Fedora: sudo dnf install tesseract tesseract-langpack-eng Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt install tesseract-ocr Install more language packs to switch languages in the result dialog.
