the Microsoft PowerToys They have always had a fixed place on our blog. Over the years, the free tool has become more and more powerful, offering many Windows helpers in one program. Now another feature will be introduced soon, which is called PowerOCR. It has been in development for a long time and is currently already in the test.

As soon as the new feature has been permanently installed on the PowerToys, we will inform you here again.
