- Google Lens: Google Vision in disguise (no need for API keys!), however it needs to download a couple megabytes of data for each request. You need to install pyjson5 and requests (`pip install pyjson5 requests`) ("l" key)

- Azure Computer Vision: you need to specify an api key and an endpoint in the config file (see below) and to install azure-cognitiveservices-vision-computervision (`pip install azure-cognitiveservices-vision-computervision`) ("v" key)

- idle resource usage on macOS and Windows when reading from the clipboard has been eliminated using native OS polling
