Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Renames PowerOCR to Text Extractor, changing the user facing strings. (executables not included)

Validation Steps Performed

Built and verified Settings, OOBE and logs changed.

Hm, why this change? Now it sounds like a file converter. As if it makes a txt or docx file or something...

[stefansjfw]

looks good

I personally don't like the name. It feels a bit complicated for a smart utility. I'd suggest something like TextCopy, TextCapture, TextCatch. I personally think we should have focus on getting text into clipboard.

After merging this and #20176, menu order for Settings and OOBE needs to be changed in a further PR, to keep alphabetical order.

menu order for Settings and OOBE needs to be changed in a further PR, to keep alphabetical order.

to keep alphabetical order in English.

[crutkas]

Reason for changing was a few items

1. we need to move away from "Power" prefix
2. Descriptive names are helpful,
3. PowerOCR implies you know what OCR actually is.

@cinnamon-msft hey friend, any opinion?

[cinnamon-msft]

I like TextCapture!

[htcfreek]

Please add comment that we mean to like convert to. Otherwise we might get translation problems because to can have different meanings (send to, convert to, copy to).

For germany:

• send to = senden an
• convert to = konvertieren in
• copy to = kopieren nach

@jaimecbernardo
Do we rename to "TextCapture" or do we keep what we have?

[jaimecbernardo]

"Image to Text" is just the most descriptive. "Text Capture" from example might be from audio.

[jaimecbernardo]

"Text Extractor" is what might end up being here.

[htcfreek]

"Text Extractor" is what might end up being here.

Sounds good to. 👍🏻

If we not rename anything please add the comment I mentioned im my review.

[jaimecbernardo]

The new name is to be "Text Extractor".

I love Text Extractor! Also because the utility works with anything on screen, video, Teams calls, text within application chrome, and of course images too 😄
