For Windows, PowerToys includes an OCR tool: https://aka.ms/PowerToysOverview_TextExtractor

Source available here: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/main/src/modules... (like ShareX, uses Windows built-in OCR engine: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.media.ocr?...)

+1 - I came to the comments to mention powertoys. I’ve had good success with it for OCR on windows 10… also , strange use case maybe - you can run blue stacks to emulate Android and then power toys to copy and paste OCR text. If you have an obscure android only app you need to rip text from.
