The latest and most important update to PowerToys features dates back in February of this yearwhere several new features have been added such as the ability to enable the viewfinder for the mouseto make it easier to track on the screen, and some new features regarding File Explorer, including support for previewing over 150 developer and 3D (STL) file formats and greater stability for the ARM64 version.In the v0.63 release cycle, we focused on stability and improvement. This is definitely a feature that will come in very handy for quickly extracting text from images, saving users the time it takes to rewrite it by hand with the keyboard. Although the release date of the tool has not yet been announced, PowerOCR is now almost complete and is currently in the final pre-release stages, which means we can definitely see it in the next few months. The conversion of the text present in the images is entrusted to the API component that allows you to take advantage of advanced features for optical recognition characters.
As you can see below, the tool allows you to read the text selecting the area from the imagethis will then be immediately converted and automatically copied to the clipboard, in order to be immediately pasted into all text screens. The development of PowerOCR was very rapid both thanks to the use of the app code TextGrab on which it is precisely based, that to the help of others volunteer developers and even Microsoft employees.
The new tool was developed by Joseph Finneya programmer of apps and utilities for Microsoft’s operating system, who announced it on July 4th on the platform GitHub.
Microsoft PowerToysthe well-known collection of utilities that allows you to expand the functionality of Windows, will be updated soon with a brand new built-in OCR function, called PowerOCR, with which you can read the text from the images to paste it later in any other screen.
