Text Grab has three different modes. Mode 1: Fullscreen capture This works by simply selecting a rectangular region, or just clicking a word, and Text Grab attempts to copy any text within the region to the Windows Clipboard.

Mode 2: Grab Frame This is a floating window which can be placed over any window. This window will attempt to capture any text within the bounds of the Window.
