Safari's copy-text-from-image feature manages the entire base64 part of the string, except for the first character (I instead of a T). Weirdly, it gets much worse performance if you try to copy the entire string, including the hashbang part.

I wonder what it's doing under the hood to get such good performance?

Didn't know Safari had this.

Looked it up, you put mouse over text, then just select and copy it - very cool!

It’s actually a system feature, not strictly a Safari feature. It also works in Photos, Preview, etc.

On meetings I will often take a screenshot of the URL someone is presenting. I’m then able to just open the image and click the URL in the image.

There’s a whole bunch of hidden features that no one seems to be aware of.

Preview has pretty good background removal.

Notes will transcribe audio from audio files.

Notes will do OCR as well. Trigger the feature, point the camera at something, and it will input just the text.

		Notes is amazing. Autocompleting equations, converting jpg to pdf and various other admin chores. The seamless cloud sync between devices is much appreciated too.

Preview has it too… And it works extremely well.
