Text actions using the Snipping Tool
The latest update to Snipping Tool has introduced a new feature called “Text Actions”. This feature can detect text in captured screenshots, and Text Actions will also make it easier for users to copy text from any image to share it with others or paste it into another application.

Using text actions in the snipping tool, users can remove sensitive information in screenshots before sharing. The Quick Redact option on the toolbar can automatically hide emails, phone numbers, or any selected text. Users can also select the Redact Text option from the click menu. Right click to hide the text.
