The Nintendo Switch’s screenshot capture button is a handy feature to have. Still, many players accidentally hit it while in a heated game—or children press it repeatedly, unaware that they are filling up the system memory with 10,000 screenshots. Here’s how to disable it.

Optical Character Recognition Optical character recognition (OCR) is the ability to look at and find words in an image, and then extract them as editable text.
