You might use a tool like [ShareX](https://getsharex.com/) or [Flameshot](https://flameshot.org/) to manually capture a region of the screen and let the
OCR read it either from the system clipboard, or a specified directory. By default, Manga OCR will write recognized text to clipboard,
from which it can be read by a dictionary like [Yomichan](https://github.com/FooSoft/yomichan).
from which it can be read by a dictionary like [Yomitan](https://github.com/yomidevs/yomitan).

Clipboard mode on Linux requires `wl-copy` for Wayland sessions or `xclip` for X11 sessions. You can find out which one your system needs by running `echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE` in the terminal.

Your full setup for reading manga in Japanese with a dictionary might look like this:

capture region with ShareX -> write image to clipboard -> Manga OCR -> write text to clipboard -> Yomichan
capture region with ShareX -> write image to clipboard -> Manga OCR -> write text to clipboard -> Yomitan
