This built-in Windows 11 app can pull the text in any image with one click

Microsoft has added an OCR function (Optical Character Recognition) to the Windows Photos app, which basically means it can now recognize text in an image and instantly extract it for you. To use this feature, open any image that contains words or lines of text using the Photos app. Then, click on the "Scan text" button--which looks like a rounded square with three lines of text inside--located at the bottom of the app window. Once clicked, the Photos app will scan the image and highlight all of the text it finds. You can then interact with it like it's actually text, meaning you can highlight passages with your cursor and right-click to perform actions like copying text, selecting all text, or using Bing Search to look up whatever text you currently have highlighted.
