Windows snipping tool is not supporting Bangla Text while pasting on Windows 11

Habibur Rahman 0

A few days ago, Windows Snipping Tool was working fine. However, I'm unsure if the issue is related to the Windows update or not. My Windows snipping tool doesn't support Bangla text anymore. Previously, I could copy Bangla text from pictures, websites, or other sources and paste it in Bangla font. But now, if I copy Bangla text and paste it into MS Word or another text editor, Bangla automatically changes into Hindi or Nepali Bhasa.

Please help me to fix this problem. I can't figure out where the problem is with Windows Ocr or something else.

Hi Habibur Rahman,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum

Based on the information you shared, it sounds like the Bangla text recognition feature in the Snipping Tool isn’t functioning as expected after a recent change.

This kind of issue can happen due to several possible reasons, such as Windows updates, OCR engine configuration, or language pack settings. To help identify the root cause, I’d like to ask a few questions that will guide us in narrowing it down:

Is English text still recognized and pasted correctly using the Snipping Tool?
Have there been any recent Windows updates or changes to language settings (such as installing/uninstalling Bangla or other languages)?
Could you please check if Bangla is fully installed in your system's language settings? You can verify this by going to Settings > Time & Language > Language & Region, selecting Bangla, and ensuring that "Text-to-speech, OCR" features are downloaded and active.
When trying other OCR tools like OneNote, Google Lens, or PowerToys Text Extractor, do they still recognize Bangla text correctly?

Once we have this information, I’ll be better able to assist you in resolving the issue.

Please let me know what you find or if you need help walking through any of the above steps.

Hi Habibur Rahman,

Thank you again for your detailed responses and for your patience throughout this troubleshooting process. Based on what you've shared, it seems the issue with Bangla text recognition in the Snipping Tool may be related to missing OCR support or limitations in the current Windows OCR engine.

Here are a few steps you can try these steps below:

Please go to Settings > Time & Language > Language & Region and check if Bangla is listed. If not, add it and then open Language options to confirm that features like Basic typing, Text-to-speech, and OCR are installed. If any are missing and available for download, please install them.

Next, go to Settings > Apps > Optional Features, click Add a feature, and search for “Bangla” or “OCR.” If you see a Bangla OCR option, install it and restart your computer.

After restarting, test the Snipping Tool again with Bangla text. If the text is recognized correctly, the issue should be resolved.

If Bangla OCR is not listed or the issue persists, please keep me informed, I will try my best to continue to troubleshoot with you.

I really appreciate your effort and patience in working through this. Please let me know how it goes or if you need help with any of the steps.

Hi Ian-Ng,

I could not fix the probelm.

User's image

Bangla(Bangladesh) language pack is already installed. But speech recognition and text-to-speech recognition are not included. Besides, in the optional features Bangla or OCR is not installed. Moreover, there is no option to download these features manually.

Could you please guide me on how to install these features? I will be waiting for your answer.

Hi Ian-Ng,

"It is a matter of sorrow that the problem was unsolved. I could not solve the problem. I have checked the Windows version, and it is the latest version. My Windows updated version is (KB5062669) and OS build (26120.5722). "

I have translated the quoted text in Bangla and pasted it in here so that you can understand the problem. I also have pasted the text below on MS Word. And MS Word detects the language as Mangal. From Microsoft's official page I found some information about the Mangal font. But I have not installed any other language. After scanning the Bangla Text with Windows snipping tool Bangla automatically changed into this Mangal font.

Moreover, in my Windows folder>OCR>en-us and en-gb, these two languages are included.

What do I do now? Should I install third-party software like Bangla OCR or Tesseract that can fix OCR problem? Or you will guide me to another solution.

Mangal is an OpenType font for the Indic script - Devanagari. It is based on Unicode, contains TrueType outlines and has been designed for use as a UI font.

घषि पाजउ मूःथजनक य जयजगजति (कारना जयाधान श्यनि। जाभि निष्ज कछ्ठा करब्र 3

जयमगणि जयाधान कब्रार भाबिनि। ज्याभि Windows-बब पः्झबण याठाडे करबकि जवः

निष्छिए शवयकि तय अहि सर्वाम पश्ब्रन। वर्ण्याटन व्यायात् Windows-जव् जाभाऐे

मश्सबन रना KB5062669 वः OS विन्ड नत्ब 26120.57221.
