I launched a super cheap and simple to use OCR tool for macOS▲24
1. Click capture text 2. Select an area on screen with text 3. Paste the text anywhere Are there other solutions out there? Yes, the best one that I've found is Text Sniper, it $8 so I decided to learn SwiftUI and release Text Capture for $0.99. This one uses MacOS builtin Vision API under the hood so it should also improve with new macOS releases. Would love to hear your feedback!
