Getting Text from an Image (windows 11)

This is a short one. It’s often enough that I do something that makes someone say, ‘wait, what?!’

Sometimes you need to extract text from an image. There are loads of ways to do this. This way is the simplest though.

Open windows snipping tool, window key, search for “snipp”, or windows key + shift + s, capture the text, and press the box with lines in it.

That Icon in the middle with the box and lines in it will highlight all the text and allow you to copy it. Here’s a screenshot from Knowledge 2025’s Keynote talking about ServiceNow’s Data Fabric.
