Snip to Clipboard

Overview

A set of three Python scripts that act as:

  1. A screen region snipping tool (tk),
  2. A text extractor from an image using Tesseract OCR, and
  3. An all-in-one shortcut command that pipes the snipped screen region directly into your system clipboard as plain text.

It works seamlessly on a single display and includes coordinate adjustments for notched MacBook displays.
