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.

Mode 3: Edit Text Window
In this mode Text Grab is like a super charged Notepad. With a plain text area, you can capture, collect, and manipulate the text.
