OCR (image-to-text) is a useful tool for designers.

Eventually, you'll get screenshots of text and you might need to rework it somewhat or copy and paste it into an illustration program. Or replicate the text in a mockup. Etc.

Retyping the text is not great.

I'm happy there's a decent OCR app in Flathub now, even if it's a little slow. (To speed it up, select the regions yourself instead of using auto-detection.)
