A little less effort.
A lot more possibility.
Copy text from your screen, images, and PDFs with SnapText—a native macOS OCR app. Select a region with the crosshair, recognize text locally, and copy it straight to your clipboard. Edit results, revisit your history, and export text or searchable PDFs. Everything runs privately on your Mac.
