Description

Text visible on the screen can be captured with OCR and copied or corrected for later use. The `sniptext` command is designed for a keyboard shortcut such as `sniptext --capture-now` and uses Tesseract with optional Wayland or X11 capture helpers. Captured text can include passwords or private messages, so shortcuts and clipboard use need care.
