How do I go from kanji in an image (browser image is fine or desktop) to a card in anki quickly?

So I love yomichans ability to just immediately shove a new word, its sentence, and definition into an anki deck. Is there a way I can do that with OCR? I could forego the sentences since options are limited but i tried kanjitomo and the text file it generates seems like it would need significant processing to get imported into anki since the delimiters are newlines and the newlines even break up the definitions too? Is there a better way to do it?

  1. You want an OCR that just copies the text to your clipboard. [manga-ocr](https://github.com/kha-white/manga-ocr) does this, and it is known to be one of the best out there to recognize japanese text. You can then open the search page in yomichan, and have it automatically paste the text from the clipboard. This makes it easy to both look up words and send them to anki with just a click.
