eSearch

eSearch captures and annotates screenshots, recognizes text with offline OCR, searches and translates text, pins images on screen, and records the screen.

This community package installs the official upstream Linux tarball unmodified. Screenshot and recording files can be saved in Pictures and Videos.

This package uses X11. Use an X11 desktop session for screen capture, recording, and global shortcuts. Native Wayland capture and shortcuts are unsupported; on a Wayland desktop, XWayland capture is limited to X11 windows.

Some upstream options do not work in this sandbox: Start at login and Switch to portable. Linux select-text-and-search also needs xdotool, which is not included in the runtime.

To save files to another folder, grant that folder with flatpak override --user --filesystem=/path/to/folder com.esearch.app. Undo overrides with flatpak override --user --reset com.esearch.app.
