While taking notes and plans, writing articles, learning from video tutorials or online conferences, we quite often need to record and save useful text. These can be, for example, quotes, code snippets, presentation slides, or product names. Of course, all this can be quickly retyped manually from a screenshot or picture on the site, but sometimes it's better to save time.
