-# PsOCRCapture
-OCR screen capture in native Powershell
+# PowerShell OCR Capture
+
+This project aims to make use of native Windows 10/11 features to allow users to grab text from the contents of their screen. It uses Snipping Tool/Snip & Sketch and the Windows 10 OCR engine to provide an OCR screen text capture functionality. Unlike other screen OCR tools, this project does not require any third-party dependencies. This makes it possible to run on restrictive devices, such as work computers.

+### Usage
+
+Select a region of your screen to scan with the "Capture" button. Recognized text will be returned in an input field.
+
+To run in PowerShell, you will have to set the command execution policy. Simply paste this into a PowerShell instance:
+
+```powershell
+Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; ./PsOCRCapture.ps1
+```
+
+To run without setting the PowerShell script execution policy, simply download and run [`PsOCRCapture.minified.bat`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/daijro/PsOCRCapture/main/PsOCRCapture.minified.bat)
