What is Text Grab?
Text Grab is a minimal optical character recognition (OCR) utility for Windows 10/11 which makes all visible text available to be copied.
Too often text is trapped within images, videos, or within parts of applications and cannot be selected. Text Grab takes a screenshot, passes that image to the OCR engine, then puts the text into the clipboard for use anywhere. The OCR is done locally by Windows API. This enables Text Grab to have essentially no UI and not require a constantly running background process. Working with text can be much more than just copying text from images, so Text Grab has a range of different modes to make working with text fast and easy.
Comments and Reviews
I've seen methods that were easier (if only I could darn find that other program again) I didn't find the ability to zoom in on a location the way the first image seems to do.
