ocr-clip
Drag-select any text visible on screen and copy it to your clipboard via OCR. Works anywhere text is rendered — terminals, PDFs, browser pages, apps that block copy-paste.
Install
Requires tesseract on your system:
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install tesseract-ocr
pip install ocr-clip
Usage
ocr-clip
| Hotkey | Action |
|---|---|
Ctrl+Shift+C |
Activate overlay — click and drag to select text |
Escape |
Cancel selection |
Ctrl+Shift+Q |
Quit |
The selected region is OCR'd and the text lands in your clipboard instantly. Selection automatically pads 8px on each edge to avoid clipping letters at boundaries.
Autostart (Linux)
The installer places a .desktop entry in ~/.config/autostart/ so ocr-clip launches on login automatically.
