To install with pip, run:
pip install fluffygoggles
Run this program with:
python -m fluffygoggles
This will take a screenshot, run OCR on it (with pytesseract), and copy the recognized text to the clipboard. It will also open up a "result text" window that looks like Notepad.
You can also run:
python -m fluffygoggles someimage.png
...to run the program on an image file instead of a screenshot.
You can add the -q or --quiet argument to suppress the output and result text window.
