socr - clipart 2 ocr

Screen-to-clipboard utilities

X based (newer)

These scripts are less dependant of which window system you're running than the older Gnome based. I.e. they should work with i3/fvwm etc.

• xocr - takes a cut of screen, OCR:s it and place final text into clipboard
• xpic - takes a cut of screen directly into clipboard

Gnome based (older)

These scripts may work on your system if you have gnome installed but running another window system. If you don't run Gnome, consider using the newer scripts (see above) instead.

• socr - takes a cut of screen, OCR:s it and place final text into clipboard
• spic - takes a cut of screen directly into clipboard

Trace actuation:

dconf watch /

Caveats

Adding a shortcut to a slot before it has once been occupied using gnome-config does not work

Utilizing dconf watch / reveals that the following is missing when running gnome-keybinding:

/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings
  ['/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/',
  '/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom1/']
