Setting aside the accessibility issues of posting an image of text, I would use a different method such as Lightscreen to capture the screenshots. Ctrl+Printscreen lets you define an area to capture. Screenshots are automatically saved in a folder of your choice using a filename convention you can easily setup. For doing repeated screenshots it is much faster than snipping tool.

I like others in the comments here, found FlameShot on github https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot which seems to be a carbon copy of LightShot with some very good extra features! Source: 11 months ago
I feel like it's actually a rare great idea out of Microsoft. Too bad the Shipping Too sucks eggs compared to FlameShot (now available on Windows!): https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot#preview ;). - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

Don't know if this solves your problem but I'm using flameshot for these kinds of things since many years. It's a great screenshot utility tool and I've configured DWM to take a screenshot / open up flameshot when pressing a certain key combo. It allows everything you'd want from such a utility (including drawing, annotating, numbering, ...). Source: over 1 year ago
