This command line script takes a screenshot of a kanji and submits it to OCRGrid's single character recognition service. It works on *nix and requires ImageMagick and xsel.

How to use:
1. Run the script: ./kanji-ocr.sh
2. Draw a box around the character you want to recognize
3. The best matches are displayed and copied into the clipboard
Hope someone finds it helpful!
[Here's an offline version, but you will also need O2-tools and NHocr]
[If you use Windows instead, see this thread]
