motorondo, 8 months ago 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!!
