About this tag
Text actions in Windows 11 refer to AI-powered features that let you interact with on-screen text without leaving your current context. Microsoft's Click To Do overlay turns visible text, images, and tables into actionable items you can edit, summarize, or send to Copilot. Recent Dev Channel builds introduce local AI-driven text actions for Copilot+ PCs, enabling intelligent text extraction and manipulation. The Snipping Tool now includes OCR and redaction, allowing you to copy or hide text from screenshots. These updates streamline workflows by reducing reliance on third-party tools and keeping text actions within the OS.
