Microsoft is bringing 'OCR' text recognition to Windows 11's Snipping Tool
(www.windowscentral.com)
Welcome to the community for Windows 11, Microsoft's latest computer operating system.
Rules:
This combined with the phone link thing have some serious privacy implications. Does this use a web service for Ocr or is it all local?
Really surprised they didn't call it AI
Oh yeah, absolutely. I think there are plenty of privacy concerns that should be addressed. But I don’t know whether the OCR is processed locally or not. I know the plan for Windows 12 at least is to complete a good amount of the intelligence processing on-device, though that is reliant on specific hardware. And I don’t know how or whether these new features factor into that or not.
