Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is how you can read text from image files. There are some tools out there that will allow you to do this (freeware/shareware/etc.) However, if you are in a Microsoft-heavy environment as I am and you have Microsoft Office OneNote available, you already have this function readily available. The steps are as follows:
- Take a screenshot of the image that has text that you want (error message, web image, etc.)
- Open Microsoft OneNote
- In a new tab, paste the image into the new Tab (Edit > Paste; Ctrl-v)
- Right-click on your newly pasted image and select, "Copy Text from Picture"
...that's it! Paste the text now on your clipboard wherever you want it!
