Microsoft PowerToys is a suite of utilities that allow experienced users to configure and optimize Windows for better performance.
2022: PowerOCR Utility Testing
The developers of the PowerToys toolkit have created and are testing the PowerOCR utility for selecting and copying text from a picture to the clipboard. They plan to add this development to an updated version of PowerToys before the end of 2022. This became known on August 18, 2022.
The PowerOCR utility uses the developments of the Text Grab application from Windows utility developer Joseph Finney. He is also one of the authors of this utility for copying text from a picture.
PowerOCR uses a toolkit API Microsoft called Windows.Media.Ocr. With its help, developers can add optical character recognition functions to their applications.
2021: Adding Utilities to Version 0.49
In October 2021, Microsoft added utilities to the PowerToys toolkit version 0.49, and also updated the PowerRename interface with the Windows 11 theme. Among the additions was a utility for finding the cursor on the desktop and a function to control the state of the microphone and camera during video calls. Microsoft later added a utility to PowerToys to help people with disabilities, allowing them to find the cursor on the screen[1].
