Because Live Text in Preview is so fickle:
TRex 1.6.0: "Copy any text on your screen, stop retyping." Open source Swift.
Shottr 1.6: "Screenshot tool for those who care about pixels." Freeware. Personal favorite.
TextSniper 1.8.0: "Extract text from images and other digital documents in seconds." From $8.
OwlOCR 5.0.7: "Grab any text on the screen, convert images or scans to searchable PDFs, open QR-coded URLs, integrate via CLI, access with Finder Extensions and more." $14.
LensOCR 3.0.2: "LensOCR enhances the screenshot feature from macOS, it allows you to capture, text, objects, QR and Barcodes." $20.
CleanShot X 4.4: "CleanShot X provides over 50 features making it the ultimate screen capturing tool." $29. Saddled with a draconian activation scheme that requires online activation and phoning home periodically to continue functioning (the latter can be mitigated by sending the developer the last 4 characters of your Mac's serial number and then running a custom default write command you will receive).
