Screenshot Text overview
- Screenshot Text turns anything on your Mac screen into text you can paste, in one keystroke.
- Press Cmd-Shift-7 and drag over a paused coding tutorial, a scanned PDF, a photo, a slide, or an app that won't let you select text. The text lands on your clipboard, ready to paste anywhere.
- It's built for code. Plain OCR flattens source code: indentation disappears, quotes turn curly, a capital I becomes a lowercase l. Screenshot Text's optional AI pass, running a small open-source model entirely on your Mac, repairs what OCR gets wrong, so copied code actually runs.
- Everything happens on-device: Apple's Vision framework for recognition, a local model for cleanup. No account, no uploads, no analytics, and it works offline. It reads 14 languages.
- Free: 5 captures a day with the full app. Lifetime: $39 one-time for unlimited captures and all future updates.
