Experience fast and convenient text recognition on Mac. TextSniper is an app that can extract text from any selected area of the screen. No more manual note-taking — with TextSniper, you can quickly capture and save important text information.

Extract Text from Images, Documents, or Videos

With TextSniper, almost anything displayed on the screen can be converted into text. The app uses advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to quickly recognize and extract text from any area of the screen.

Whether it’s an online presentation, a YouTube video, an image, or a PDF document, simply use TextSniper to select the corresponding area and convert its content into editable text.

As Easy as Copy and Paste

To extract text, just press Cmd+Shift+2, then select any area on the screen. TextSniper will automatically recognize the text in the selected area and save the result to the clipboard.

Then use the familiar Cmd+V to paste the text wherever you need it. If you’re not used to the default shortcut, you can also change it to suit your own habits.

Quickly Save Important Information

TextSniper helps you reduce unnecessary information organization work and extract only the important content you really need. You can save the recognition result as continuous paragraphs, or choose to preserve the original line breaks in the text.

In addition, TextSniper also provides a text-to-speech feature that can read the recognized text aloud, so you don’t have to keep staring at the screen to read.

Quick Access from the Menu Bar

You can open TextSniper directly from the Mac menu bar to start text recognition, and you can also adjust relevant settings here, such as changing the shortcut, or choosing whether to preserve the original line breaks when copying text.

When not in use, TextSniper quietly stays in the background without interfering with your work, and can be quickly called up whenever you need it.
