You don't need any third party tools for this any more, OCR is now built in to the Snipping Tool. Just press ctrl+shift+win+s, select the region of the screen you're interested in, then use the new "Copy all text" toolbar button. (Note that this is very new and might not be rolled out to everyone yet)

Are you running Windows 11? I don't see it in Windows 10.

  Win 11 and the shortcut is Shift + Win + S.

But Snipping Tool has a message saying they're removing Snipping Tool from Windows and to stop using it...

  Isn't that the old snipping tool? Use the shift+win+s instead.

    Indeed, the snappy snip tool is being removed, the bloated one remains. Though OCR is a nice addition.

Just did the same on Android with Google Keep. Took screenshot, added it to a Google Keep Note, then clicked Grab Image Text. I am sure same can be done with Google App from Screenshot.

That's a good practical solution but ideally they should just let you copy the text instead of runnign some possibly error prone OCR on it.
