Text not being copied to clipboard and sometimes words are translated to french language ! about textshot

[ianzhao05]

Can you please share what command you are running? What image are you using it on? Can you give an example? If the image is too noisy, or the colours are irregular, then there will likely be issues.

1. Command for shortcut I am using without any extra arguments
   /home/ravi/anaconda3/bin/python /home/ravi/utilities/textshot/textshot.py
2. SS for where I got this translated to French ( I tried to recreate this error several time but managed to find here in settings everytime I take the snap in settings I got this translated to French and couldn't paste it idk why for pasting I tried ctrl+v
   images:
   In the notification area you can see it translated to French or Idk what lang is that

It's not any language; just a bunch of garbage characters lol. The image in the screenshot is really noisy. It works best if you just have one piece of text with a uniform background and text colour. The dialog box in your case has multiple different colours, and the text is in multiple places.

LOL I thought it was French SMH...
But the problem is not solved yet still the text when detected properly are not copied to clipboard and I can't paste them :/

Okay I understood now, but still what the problem I am facing is that the text is detected but Not COPIED to the clip board. In the notification I can see that it says the "copied" 'the text' but when I hit ctrl+v nothing gets pasted.
I on the new picture but still same :/
I took the screenshot when the program was running and I dragged the mouse and created that mini window for where I have to detect the text and before releasing the mouse I took this so you can see where I tested

[ianzhao05]

Yeah, that is a good image. If you see the correct text in the notification, but you can't paste it, then something must be up with the clipboard function. My bet is that xclip is not installed. Can you do sudo apt install xclip and try again?

[RaviPabari]

Done done done working now thanks bro.
I have made a PR where I have added an extra line in readme for installing xclip if not installed in some distros :)
Thanks 💯
