Interestingly the macOS one is not very accurate. I took a screenshot of your comment and macOS OCR read the "cmd+shift+4" as "cod+shift+4".





I wonder why that is? Could it mean that Apple trained their ocr tool to favor nontechnical text. Meaning the tool determined that “cod” was more likely than “cmd”

Interestingly, iOS corrected “cmd” to “cod” when I first typed it out.


The thing is, if the linked app is using Apple's Vision API, it will perform the same.

Good point. From the list of supported languages [1] it looks like it is in fact using the Vision API in fast mode (as accurate mode seems to support more languages).

It correctly OCR'd it for me.
