  • Thanks for this!!

    I just realized I can use the following command to OCR a bitmap in the clipboard and put the text back into the clipboard.

    xclip -out -selection clipboard -t image/bmp
    | tesseract stdin stdout -l eng
    | xclip -in -selection clipboard

    This works in my linux VM (in Virtualbox on my work laptop) using bi-directional shared clipboard without touching my Windows software.

    Mind blown!!
