I had to type the whole error message manually, which was a bit frustrating. I thought, what if I could just take a screenshot and extract the text from the image directly? That&rsquo;s when I decided to enhance GNOME Screenshot with OCR. I mean windows snipping tool has this feature, why not GNOME Screenshot?</p>https://funinkina.co.in/projects/gnome-ocr-screenshot/Thu, 06 Feb 2025 20:04:01 +0530https://funinkina.co.in/projects/gnome-ocr-screenshot/<p>GNOME Screenshot OCR is a simple, native tool for the GNOME desktop environment that allows users to instantly extract text or scan QR codes directly from a selected area of their screen via a screenshot.</p> <h3 id="github-repository-funinkinagnome-ocr-screenshot">GitHub Repository: <a href="https://github.com/funinkina/Gnome-OCR-Screenshot" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow">funinkina/Gnome-OCR-Screenshot</a> </h3> <p><img src="https://github.com/funinkina/Gnome-OCR-Screenshot/raw/main/screenshot.png" alt="Screenshot Demo" loading="lazy"></p> <h2 id="why-i-made-this">Why I made this?</h2> <p>Oftentimes I needed to copy a error or debug message from the screen but it won&rsquo;t be in a nice text box, so i decided to make this simple utility to do that for me.</p>
