"Search Image with Google" is now available on right-click in the chrome browser.

You could screenshot -> open JPG in chrome --> and OCR the text.

Takes more clicks than needed but serves me in a pinch currently.

If I am attending a webex/zoom or watching a youtube video that merely "shows" a URL or other text content without offering that to me as copyable text -- this method helps.

Ideally this OCR ability should be a native OS functionality available universally on right-click. Maybe soon.



Person doing the presentation might expect that the link gets shared with specific audience; now it is most probably indexed by Google and publicly searchable.
