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!!

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.

Holler holler get doller. Thank you very much. Now I just need a way to use a custom image host.
