There is a new update with Snipping Tool. It now comes with an AI button to copy texts in the screenshot.

Here is a tip.
Print Screen = copies entire screen to clipboard
Alt + Print Screen = copies active program window to clipboard
I do alot of instructions and procedures documents at work, and pasting the active window is almost always better than pasting the entire screen. It also saves you the time of cropping, since the image is whatever size the window was. Easier to just size the window beforehand, then Alt + Print Screen and paste.
