[0:00]Hello, everyone. My name is Alex and I'm a program manager on the Microsoft PowerToys team. And today I'm here to talk about a new utility called Text Extractor. Text Extractor is a new utility that will allow you to copy text from anywhere on your screen, whether it's an image or a video or even a PDF file. And it's a great tool for quickly getting text out of something that you normally can't select and copy. So let's see how it works. Here I have an image of some text and let's say I want to quickly grab the title of this article. All I have to do is hit the Windows Shift T hotkey and then select the region that I want to grab the text from. And just like that, the text is now on my clipboard and I can quickly paste it into any editor that I want. And it's not just images. I can also grab text from videos as well. Here I have a video of some text and let's say I want to quickly grab the title of this video. All I have to do is hit the Windows Shift T hot key and then select the region that I want to grab the text from. And just like that, the text is now on my clipboard and I can quickly paste it into any editor that I want. And finally, I can also grab text from PDF files. Here I have a PDF file open and let's say I want to quickly grab the title of this PDF file. All I have to do is hit the Windows Shift T hot key and then select the region that I want to grab the text from. And just like that, the text is now on my clipboard and I can quickly paste it into any editor that I want. And that's Text Extractor, a new utility that will allow you to quickly copy text from anywhere on your screen. Thank you for watching.
