On-screen OCR
Grab text from any screen content you see, even unselectable stuff like videos, dialogs, and scanned docs. One click, instant clipboard copy, zero cloud uploads.
How it works
Capture text in three quick steps.
1
Press the shortcut
Hit Ctrl + Shift + X anywhere, in a video call, a PDF, a game, a photo. The screen dims, ready for your selection.
