I tried doing something similar on Windows, and realized that PowerToys[1], a Microsoft project I already had installed, actually contains a very good OCR tool[2]. Just press Win+Shift+T and select the area to scan, and the text will be copied to the clipboard.

I use autohotkey + powertoys to append screenshot data to a CSV, works great with it's own key mapping
