this feature should let the user to select an area on the screen (like color picker and screen snip tool) and with a simple image processing (OCR), it should find and read the letters and words from the selected area on the screen, and then copy the detected text to the windows clipboard.

it's a really helpful and useful feature. for example, when you want to copy a text from a video tutorial on youtube. or you want to copy texts from a scanned document or some websites won't allow you to copy texts from them.
but this feature, solves all of the above problems.
