@annaleen is absolutely right when she says this, and here's a demonstration. I mean, OCR of screecaps is literally an OS-provided service these days:

Screencap of toot by @annaleen, advocating user control over quote-posts. Text reads: I've been a journalist for over twenty years - - I've written for venues ranging from tiny zines to the New York Times. And I think users should have control over quote- posts. If a journo wants to report something that they can't quote-post, I believe that the ten-second friction required to cut-and-paste some text, or to screengrab it, is helpful to the journalistic process. Taking a beat to consider whether we really want to quote something, and how we want to frame it? Literally our job. Show thread

& Wandering.shop at least has inbuilt OCR to suck the text out of screenshots for your ALT, so you don't even have to go to a separate app.
