Next-gen Copy-Paste

This tiny script can take as input a rectangular region of the screen that contains some text and then copies it to the clipboard.

First installation

1. Install the dependecies listed in the requirements.txt file:

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Download a tesseract trained model and place it in the same directory of the script.

3. Enjoy

The script is more useful if you can launch it through a shortcut.

Usage

• You can select the region with two mouse clicks: the first in the top left corner and the second in the lower right one.
• Ctrl-V should paste the text after the OCR did its work.
