I've just released TextShot, a *free* macOS app that makes copying text from images as easy as taking a screenshot
I love using macOCR it is a command line tool though, but I bind it to a keyboard shortcut using BetterTouchTool, although you could also use Raycast, Alfred, etc to run it

Ask HN: Tools you have made for yourself?
I wrote a free Mac app to OCR any text on screen[1].
macOCR is a command line app that enables you to turn any text on your screen into text on your clipboard. When you envoke the ocr command, a "screen capture" like cursor is shown. Any text within the bounds will be converted to text.
You could invoke the app using the likes of Alfred.app, LaunchBar, Hammerspoon, Quicksilver, Raycast etc.

TextSnatcher: Copy text from images, for the Linux Desktop
Just three hours ago I switched back to Linux after a few years on MacOS. The only thing missing was the amazing text copy tool I was using, "Rex" [1]. What a coincidence to see this post on the front page a few hours later!
Side note, what a breath of fresh air Gnome on Fedora is!

Clean Text alternative / text tools to auto strip most formatting from copied text? (preferably free / low cost)
So I know there's things like PurePaste (which I use), and TRex (auto-ocr screenshotted area, it's fantastic). But those work best for short shorter snippets.

Tips – Preview the Mac app people forget about
To get this functionality everywhere, I’ve taken using the TRex app: https://github.com/amebalabs/TRex
I have it mapped to ctrl-alt-command-C. As more and more apps and webpages make text unselectable, it’s become invaluable. My favorite trick is to copy the URL when someone is screen sharing their browser in a virtual meeting!
