Maybe as my keyboard is Portuguese, the shortcut does not assume, but even when I use the "normal" shortcut, it does nothing

dam useful! just native app shortcuts can do it... guess it has more potential to do something else. I thought this will be included in MacOS's new features.. called something like "live text". enable users to capture text in videos. But I can't find it nowhere. luckily this video provide additional... roundabout way to do it. Or maybe this is better.. I don't have to pay Textsnipper or TextScanner and worry about if they don't work or compatibility.. snipper even have limitation to only one, three Macs in different prices.. anyways, appreciate!! really helpful to learning videos that covers tons of texts in it. I used to capture pictures in video... change photo HEIC apple photo format to jpg.. and upload jpg to text capture web app... then copy and paste.. that was such a hassle.. in an old 2013 MacBook, which can't even capture text in a jpg, even my iPhone XS can. I was even willing to .. or just give up to type it word by word to a doc. This is just saying how much helpful the feature in the video is offering. new M2 done it so well.

Can this be done on an iPad using similar shortcut coding? A quick look didn’t find the same commands, e.g. take interactive screenshot as the first step. I’ve since made some progress but using the option to use the share list results in a note file captured literally from the screen with the share list test included and what was under that missing. And, the method of invoking shortcuts using Siri fails even though the shortcut works perfectly in the shortcuts app. Siri simply doesn’t seem to know about the shortcut; I’ve created two with different names and neither work, and I’ve changed the Siri language without success. In summary, the shortcuts work but I’ve not found a way to invoke them on an iPad that works.
