Created attachment 186623 [details] OCR UX Showcase (I piped the OCR result to KDialog using a bash script) SUMMARY Currently the image OCR text result copies to clipboard, and most of the times requires to open a text editor afterwards. It's extra step. I think showing OCR output as Kdialog box has better UX. refer to video attachment. Original PR: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/spectacle/-/merge_requests/462

When you take the screenshot, a system notification appears allowing you to open a .txt file with all the text that was extracted.
While the user experience could be better, I don't think this would make the UX substantially better enough in a particular way to justify the slight inconvenience of having to click more. The linked MR already has a discussion about an alternative UX that I think would genuinely be better, but requires significantly more work to create.
