About PowerToys’ Text Extractor, there’s equivalent functionality in Windows now, from [1]:

It's recommended to use the Snipping Tool instead of the Text Extractor for capturing screenshots.

Since switching to Linux in 2023, Text Extractor is actually the thing I miss most. Text Extractor was a joy to use. While I have found equivalents for most of the PowerToys on Linux, the PowerToys did a great job and it was one of my favorite pieces of software.

For any Linux users reading this, is there a Text Extractor equivalent that I'm missing? I've tried Normcap, Frog, textsnatch...

		On the Mac side, can confirm how useful this is. As soon as transparent text selection in images was added to iOS and macOS, it went from that being a feature I'd never even though about, to becoming a table-stakes feature for considering a GUI platform basically "complete". It's very weird and annoying when I'm on something that doesn't have it, now. Crazy for a piece of functionality I'd never even thought to try to find a solution for, until it was simply handed to me and worked automatically.
