Oh nice. There hasn't been a good ocr screenshot tool with Wayland support yet so look forward to trying this. IIRC there's been..

Linux: dpScreenOCR - x11 only last I checked in and now Frog

MacOS: screenotate, prizmo

Windows: screenotate

I don't get all the nitpick comments. OCR tools like this are extremely useful when dealing with excerpting text from certain websites (slack) or taking class notes from video.
