Text Extractor in Snipping Tool capture bar begin rolling out to Windows Insiders in Canary and Dev Channels on Windows 11
Microsoft has started rolling out a new update to Snipping Tool to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels on Windows 11. The update arrives with version 11.2503.27.0.
New update to Snipping Tool
The update adds Text Extractor to the Snipping Tool capture bar. These new features minimize the number of steps it takes to copy text to your clipboard without having to take a screenshot of your screen.
To use Text Extractor, open Snipping Tool via Win{
}+Shift+S or launch the app and click the Text Extractor button in the toolbar.
After this, select the region you would like to scan or text, and you will be able to manually select the text to copy to the clipboard, or you can click on the “Copy all text” button in the toolbar to quickly copy all text in the region. You can also explore the “More options” dropdown menu to “Remove line breaks” from copied text or simplify the experience entirely with “Automatically copy text” selection, which will automatically copy all text in your selection region directly to your clipboard.
Windows Insiders can file feedback related to Text Extractor in Snipping Tool in Feedback Hub (WIN+F) under Apps > Snipping Tool.
