    Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine (main repository)

    Here is a little and unspectacular script to read text from screen. It uses tesseract to ocr the text and import command from ImageMagick to make a screenshot. Then the script outputs the recognized text to stdout. You could replace the screenshot tool with something else you like, but the script expects the created files.

    The script was made by myself, but I've also seen some similar scripts that inspired some updates, e.g.: * https://www.reddit.com/r/commandline/comments/oceuu3/nifty_little_ocr_script_which_i_use_a_lot_maybe/ * https://github.com/sdushantha/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/bin/utils/ocr
