Being able to copy any text you see on your screen isn’t a luxury that comes natively supported on Windows. As with many operating systems, you can’t just highlight and copy the text you see on your screen.

Fortunately, the PowerToys utility provides a convenient way to do this. With its Text Extractor feature, you can extract any text from any language that you see on your screen. Here's how to extract and copy text from anywhere on your screen with PowerToys.

Traditionally, you have to take a snapshot of the screen and then use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tools to extract the text, which is a long and cumbersome workaround. But with the Text Extraction feature in PowerToys, literally any word you see on your screen can be captured and copied to the clipboard, and that too in any language.

Before we begin, make sure you install PowerToys on your Windows PC. Once PowerToys is on your system, launch it and follow the steps below to copy the text on your screen.
