This is a great idea! For me personally, I'd probably prefer to see it incorporated into the snipping tool.

@barry-johnson yeah, it's a really great idea. like screen snip tool to select an area on the screen but it should recognize the text using a very simple image processing (OCR) and copies the recognized text to the clipboard.
