   Have a play with SnippingTool.exe . You can pin that to the Taskbar.   
      
   SnippingTool has three groups of icons in the top row.   
      
   "New" and four icons on the left. These are the   
   icons controlling the initial screen capture. The "rectangular"   
   option for capture, is convenient when only wanting to do OCR.   
      
   The middle icons are for post-processing. The sixth icon   
   from the left, of those middle ones, if you hold your mouse   
   over it, it says "Text Actions". Clicking that does OCR,   
   but it is relatively dumb OCR in that lines of text can be   
   split up into smaller chunks we don't need. There will be   
   a "Copy Text" button for copying the OCRed text. You can paste   
   that text into Notepad.   
      
   On the right, are "Save As" icons and so on. You can save   
   a picture and then continue to do OCR. The pictures collected   
   can also be in your Pictures folder somewhere (date stamped).   
      
   The only thing it doesn't do well, is the timer should have   
   applied to everything, and it does not. When I want to capture   
   an open menu, that isn't always possible. Then I have to use   
   the capture tool in GIMP to do it.   
      
   It's possible the XBOX gaming or some NVidia panel also have   
   screen capturing options, but I've not used them.
