Originally, Windows 11 lacked a native Optical Character Recognition (OCR) feature. The closest thing to OCR is possible using Microsoft PowerToys which offers copying text from images feature. Fortunately, Microsoft changed all that with a new feature in the Snipping Tool.

The new snipping tool app in the windows insider program can now be used to copy and extract text from images. It comes with a tool called text actions that works as an intelligent ocr tool in one click you can now copy all the text in the image and copy also selected text from the image.

1. Press the Win key, type Snipping Tool, and press the Enter key. Alternatively, press the Win + Shift + S keys to launch the tool.
2. Now, pick any of the screen capture dimension options and capture the screenshot.
3. Switch to the Snipping Tool window which will show the screenshot. Click on the Text Actions icon.
4. The feature will identify all the text in the captured screenshot and highlight it. Click and drag the mouse to select a particular word or sentence from the screenshot.
5. Click on the Copy all text to copy everything from the image and save it to the clipboard.
6. Press the Win key, type Notepad, and press Enter.
7. Paste all the copied text in the Notepad and save it for later.
