TextSnatcher: Copy text from images, for the Linux Desktop
I'm the author of Textinator [1] a similar utility for macOS that uses Apple's Vision framework [2] for doing the OCR natively. Modern versions of macOS have a similar ability to copy text from images directly but Textinator works on macOS back to 10.15 and simplifies the "take screenshot, copy text to clipboard" workflow.

New MacOS app
Textinator which I wrote and is free & open source. Detects text in screenshots and copies the text to the clipboard. Sort of like Live Text in Monterey/Ventura but works on older Macs (Catalina+) and runs automatically in the background.

Sunday Daily Thread: What's everyone working on this week?
On Python Bytes podcast #284 I heard about Text Sniper, a Mac app that allows you easily extract text from images and documents using screenshots (performs text recognition). It's a pretty slick app and I thought, "I can do that in Python" so I built Textinator, a Python clone of Text Sniper that does basically the same thing. MacOS only as it uses the Apple Vision framework to perform the text detection. Screencast demo here.

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!
