I came across a really great screenshot tool for #wayland called LumineCapture.

It basically has all the features of Spectacle (full screen, single monitor, window, rectangular region), but it is much faster and more lightweight.

It includes a built-in editor and annotator, a color picker, a […]

Vydána KDE Plasma 6.6.0 s řadou vylepšení
Vydána KDE Plasma 6.6.0 s řadou vylepšení
Projekt desktopového prostředí KDE vydal novou verzi Plasma 6.6.0. Novinek je slušné množství, detailně je případně shrnuje přehled na domovském webu projektu. Vylepšená klávesnice na obrazovce, rozpoznávání oblastí s textem a OCR v rámci Spectacle, nový dialog nastavení pro uživatele v nainstalovaném systému, možnost nastavit aktuální schéma desktopu jako uživatelské globální schéma, nastavení barevné intenzity prvků desktopu, rychlé připojení k Wi-Fi naskenováním QR kódu, rychlé nastavení hlasitosti dané aplikace pomocí kolečka s najetím na náhled jejího okna v hlavní liště, mnohá další vylepšení v oblasti přístupností. Vylepšen je, jak již zaznělo, nástroj Spectacle, a to jak v oblasti snímků obrazovky, tak videí. Přibyla také možnost mít virtuální obrazovky jen na primární reálné, volitelně lze využívat automatické nastavení jasu za využití senzoru, nebo třeba také používat herní ovladače jako běžná vstupní zařízení. Na podporovaných systémech lze rovnou v Discoveru instalovat písma, vylepšen je dialog pro přístup k USB zařízením a celkově jsou zde plynulejší animace prostředí pro obrazovky s vysokou obnovovací frekvencí.

And a new version of Spectacle (screenshot tool, version 6.6.0) on KDE read those number correctly - locally. 😁

I can see that underneath they're using Tesseract to OCR.

Whoa! If you have Tesseract OCR installed, the Spectacle screenshot program for #KDE gets an "Extract text" button! Very cool. I'd show you a screenshot, but that would take some mental gymnastics I'm not up for right now (since I would need to take a screenshot of my screenshot tool).

This new OCR feature in @kde.org is fantastic! 🎉 Sadly it’s only for Spectacle for now but having OCR as a library is on the road map and I hope it gets added to Gwenview next. The built-in OCR in macOS Preview is so useful that I wondered why #KDE didn’t have it.

KDE's built in screenshot tool Spectacle will now have OCR support.
Until now I've been using NormCap which is great, but it will be nice to have the feature built into a tool I use all the time anyway

KDE plans to add OCR directly to the Spectacle Screenshot tool in Plasma 6.6!!!

I've been using NormCap for this purpose for years, having it built into Spectacle would be great, for me personally at least.
