Abstract:
Devices, computer-readable media, and methods for exporting text captured from a video program presented on a display screen using optical character recognition to an alternate destination are disclosed. For example, a processor may present a video program via a display screen, receive, from a control device associated with the display screen, a request to capture text from the video program, and identify text from a frame of the video program via optical character recognition. When the text from the frame is identified via optical character recognition, the processor may present, via the display screen, the text in a selectable format, receive, from the control device, a selection of at least a portion of the text that is presented in the selectable format, and send the at least the portion of the text to an alternate destination in accordance with the selection of the at least the portion of the text.
