Capture text from anywhere - un-selectable text in apps, images, videos, PDFs, or anything on your screen! A simple & convenient OCR tool for macOS. I love a (good) system tray app! ... Congrats on the launch! 🚀 I'm loving the simplicity of 'click, select, paste' - so straightforward! Text recognition is done locally on your machine, no data is sent to any servers. We've tried to pick the best defaults, but you can customize everything to your liking. Set your own keyboard shortcuts, toggle line breaks, show or hide tray icon, notifications, feedback sounds and more. Saves time pasting after each capture. With additive clipboard turned on, each captured text is added to the clipboard so…from textcapture.app

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!
