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.

Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing
I use a tool called "Espanso" to accomplish something similar at work. It only runs locally, so no weird data scraping issues to worry about. And it's easy to update as things changes becauase everything lives in a simple yml file.
https://espanso.org/
It can do simple text replacement, so I have words, phrases, and sentences I use frequently compressed into a few keyboard clicks. It can also grab what is in your clipboard, so that can be incorporated into responses, which is simple but very handy.
A simple text replacement looks like this in the yaml file:
