Fun side-fact: The original MacPaint, while in development, had an "ocr" copy feature, albeit much simpler of course.
It didn't make it in the release version out of fear that people would use MacPaint as a Word Processor.
Why spend electricity and time to read the text in a screenshot, and then more time making sure there are no mistakes. When the sender could have just copied the original text?
