Phone Link (called Link to Windows on the phone side) lets you sync calls, messages, notifications, and pictures (and cast your entire phone) from your Android phone to your Windows computer. It also works in a more limited way with iOS devices, which only sync notifications, messages and calls via Bluetooth.
The Windows Snipping Tool got text extraction last year around the same time Phone Link got image sharing notifications, so it's been possible for a while to extract text from phone photos with the Snipping Tool. This update only saves you one step and allows you to do it in the app. The feature is available in Phone Link 1.24051.91.0 and I quickly tested it on Insider Preview Build 22635.3646 (Beta channel).
In my tests, the OCR was decent, although it made more errors than Samsung or Apple text extractors with the same photo of a book page. For longer passages it is probably better allow copy and paste between devicesextracting the text on your phone and sending it to your PC that way.
