If you're on macOS 12 or iOS 15, you can also use the built in live text functionality in Safari, Preview or Photos

  True but that only applies to images displayed using the standard image library. TextSniper will capture text from any text displayed on screen, not just within an image. I use it often to pull text from things shared in Zoom. You can do it with the built-in Livetext but you have to do a screen shot, them bring that up in preview to get the text OCRd. TextSniper makes it a single operation.

  This only works on M1~ macs. Intel mac don't have OCR for some Apple-ish reason

    It does work on Intel Macs. I've used it plenty of times.

    When the beta containing Live Text was first released it was M1 only but by the time it was released, Intel support was included. A lot of people only remember the first impression.
