Copyfish

     No, this is NOT a chess program. In fact, it has nothing to do with chess, but it’s a handy program that has become a “must have” for me and I just wanted to share it. 
     It’s a free Optical Character Reader that allows you to copy or extract text from images, videos or PDFs right off the Internet screen. 

     All you do is download and install the program and it puts a little fish icon in the upper right hand corner of your screen. Then when you want to use OCR to copy text off the screen so you can past it into Word, just click on the icon, put a rectangle around what you want to OCR and in a few seconds the text is ready to copy and paste. Copyfish is available for both Chrome and Firefox. Download Copyfish
