    Quick Tip: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in Windows 11

    "

    A very useful, but somewhat hidden, feature of the Windows 11 Snipping tool is the button "Text Actions", which can be found in the toolbar along with Crop etc.

    The "Text actions" button actually uses OCR to interpret the text in the screenshot and make it selectable & copyable. Very useful! According to my experience, the OCR is really good and correctly interprets text even if it is a bit skewed or blurry.
