Live Text from screenshot without saving first?

Is there a way to copy text from a screenshot without having to save the screenshot first? I feel like there should be a way, you can edit and markup a screenshot, why not be able to use the Live Text button too? Am I missing something?

Follow up to your message. I submitted a suggestion for adding Live Text option to the Markup/Edit mode for Screenshots via the Feedback app.

Yours automatically saves?

you take a screenshot, that pic goes to the bottom left of the screen where you tap on it to edit it. During this process is what I’m referring to. Once done editing, you have options…basically to save or delete.

I don’t see the Live Text option.


i guess if you didn’t tap on the photo or swipe it left, it will auto save.
