This built-in Windows 11 app can pull the text in any image with one click
Microsoft has added an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) feature to the Windows Photos app, allowing users to extract text from images with a single click. The "Scan text" button, located at the bottom of the app window, enables the app to scan the image and highlight all the text it finds. Users can then interact with the text, performing actions such as copying, selecting, or using Bing Search to look up the highlighted text. This feature is particularly useful for quickly pulling text from screenshots of documents or web pages, saving time and effort. The article highlights the convenience and efficiency of this new OCR functionality in the Windows Photos app.
