Screenie

A screen capturing tool surely comes in handy to anyone, since it allows the quick sharing of ideas, apps, instructions, designs, and so on. While Windows comes with its own integrated Snipping Tool, developers strive to create third-party instruments that bring more features to the table to offer users a richer experience. 

Screenie is a Store app designed for graphic capture on Windows 10 and 11, providing you with a quick and easy means to take snapshots in Windows, with additional OCR functionality.

After a quick installation, you get to see the main window of Screenie, allowing you to select the tool to use. The application can capture screen regions or the entire desktop, app windows, and even snapshots taken via the webcam. On the downside, its main GUI cannot be moved, which is quite annoying.  Aside from graphic capture, Screenie works as a graphic editor for images. Its toolbox includes photo cropping and options to make annotations. You can use the pen to freely draw onto any screenshot, with customizable width, opacity and color.

Text boxes can be used for overlaying text onto the opened image. You can easily draw geometrical shapes, arrows and lines with the help of the other dedicated tools. 

A noticeable feature of Screenie is its OCR functions, which help you extract text from photos. The result can be easily copied to the clipboard or saved to file.

Screenie is a handy tool to have around, providing more graphic capturing options compared to the embedded Windows Snipping Tool. Aside from capturing screenshots, it features annotation and editing capabilities, as well as OCR features and text translation options. In other words, it provides a comprehensive toolbox for capturing and editing screenshots, as well as extracting text from images. Having all these instruments at your disposal is much more convenient than using multiple software utilities separately.
