Text Extraction & Dictation

Text Extraction #

Hit Super + Ctrl + PrtScr to select a region on the screen for text extraction. The tesseract open source OCR model will then quickly convert that selection into text and place it on the clipboard. Then you just hit Super + V to paste.

This is very helpful for grabbing addresses out of image footers or phone numbers embedded in website headlines.

Dictation #

Omarchy offers AI dictation via Voxtype. You install it via Install > AI > Dictation through the Omarchy menu. By default, it’ll load a base English model that takes up 150MB. But you can tweak which model you’d like to use by running voxtype setup model in the terminal. And you can tweak all the settings via ~/.config/voxtype/config.toml.

Once installed, you dictate by holding down F9 or by toggling with Super + Ctrl + X, and the dictated text will appear in the focused input area.
