Description

Text visible in screenshots can be extracted from the command line on X11 or Wayland. This helps users copy text from images, dialogs, or screen areas that are not directly selectable.

It is a screenshot OCR utility. Captured screen areas may contain private text, so users should avoid saving or sharing OCR output from sensitive windows.
