Great idea - I ended up experimenting to improve the ocr accuracy:

Nice! Once you start getting complex, a standalone script might be a good idea. But it should be noted that your ImageMagick processing can also be inserted into the original one-liner:
bash -c 'flameshot gui -s -r | convert - -colorspace Gray -scale 1191x2000 -unsharp 6.8x2.69+0 -resize 500% png:- | tesseract - - | gxmessage -title "Decoded Data" -fn "Consolas 12" -wrap -geometry 640x480 -file -'

Indeed; I just wanted to break it into sequential steps so that in case of issues, I can conveniently add debugging steps in the middle as needed.

Last year, when I want to find a tool to do the sanpshot and OCR job, I found flameshot. However, the OCR feature hasn't been added as native function due to some issues I'm not very clear.
So I spent some time added the OCR function into flameshot. I didn't choose to compile tesseract into flameshot, but using the rest api way to call a server running remotely. The reason for this way is I also added llama.cpp translation feature after OCR.
Here're github repositories for my fork of flameshot and the OCR and translation server which is written causually in Rust.
