SmartNote is a screen snip tool to take Screenshot with OCR ability from Tesseract 100+ languages

Of course you will have to install it first. https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/tesseract/wiki

I tried it with the version of 32bit tesseract-ocr-w32-setup-v5.2.0.20220712.exe

in Windows 10 Pro 64-bit 21H2
