VBA is just there for backward compatibility.
The modern alternative is to use JavaScript/TypeScript, which makes such solutions cross platform (including MacOs, web etc.):

FWIW, this project is entirely digital (audio in: USB, audio out: S/PDIF or I2S).
There are other projects for the Pico which implement S/PDIF in.
In either case, since it is digital, the quality (or lack of) of the internal ADCs should not matter.

About PowerToys’ Text Extractor, there’s equivalent functionality in Windows now, from [1]:
It's recommended to use the Snipping Tool instead of the Text Extractor for capturing screenshots.
