[feat req] Add screenshot integration: Directly OCR your screenshot #165

Description

@spectas

First of all, great open-source app, thanks! A feature I miss on my Android phone: I find it very useful to take a screenshot and then be able to directly copy and paste text from it. Currently, I use this feature from Google Lens—as far as I know, it’s the only app currently offering this. This is super convenient for working with text from apps, for example, when you want to find a solution for an error message from your phone or an app, or extract a phone number from an app that doesn’t have a copy-paste feature.
Could you please add the same functionality to this app? So when I take a screenshot, I can tap and select my OCR app, just like with Google Lens (see attached screenshots), but keep everything offline and private.
Probably requires adding an intent filter for ACTION_VIEW with image/* MIME types in the app's manifest, but I'm not a developer, so I'm not sure.
Thanks a lot and best regards
Spectas
