Just give me the text

I wanted to share a surprisingly elegant solution I found to copying text into the clipboard where for one reason or another it's otherwise not possible.

flameshot gui --raw \
  | tesseract stdin stdout -l eng \
  | xclip -in -selection clipboard

    This is gorgeous, I’ve used flame shot for years, and constantly use xclip, never once thought about sticking OCR in the middle.

    Awesome stuff.
