Is there an app that copies photographed text to the clipboard?

Any OCR app for phone or desktop should do the trick.

Google lens, MS lens, Adobe scan etc etc.

Thanks. Forgot about those...

you're welcome. Evernote has OCR as well and I think iPhone's have an app build-in.

I don't know on what platform you are referring or what use you are referring to, but on a windows computer, you can hold the windows, shift, and s keys to get into the snip-it tool and then select anything on your screen to copy into the clipboard and then paste it where ever you wish. I use it frequently when writing up procedures, because I can show what I'm looking at.

Right - I was trying to snap a picture of a page of a book and have it copy the text to paste here -- Google Lens did the trick. TY!
