Summary

To easily copy text from images on Windows, consider using the Text Grab app, which utilizes optical character recognition (OCR) capabilities. The app offers two main modes: Full-Screen and Grab Frame, both of which can be used to extract text from an image. The Full-Screen mode allows for easy selection of a screen region and instant copying of all text, while the Grab Frame mode provides a more interactive experience with a framed window that underlines recognized text. Supplemental tools are also available, including an edit text window and a quick simple lookup tool. The app's settings can be customized to suit individual preferences, and it offers additional flexibility compared to the built-in Microsoft Power Toys "Text Extractor" option.
