  This is pretty cool. A feature I would add to this sort of utility is to normalize text. For example, some of your own examples, and also CC are in full caps. It would be nice to have a paste-as option that would allow instant normalizing to sentence, camelcase, lower, etc formats.

  Probably that option would need to be prior to capture, before the text is sent to the clipboard, so maybe the feature is sample-as versus paste-as.

  How many times did you have to pause the video to retype the link, song title, or any other text studying some tutorial? How cool it would be to have an option to grab any non-copyable text from the screen in a matter of seconds. This question I asked my self and as an answer to it, I have built TextSniper. The extremely convenient tool to capture any text from your screen. I would appreciate any feedback.
