Copy text from
any image
on your screen, instantly
Select any area in your browser — screenshots, PDFs, videos, slides — and get perfectly extracted text in under a second. No manual retyping ever again.
Text is everywhere.
Copying it shouldn't be this hard.
You screenshot code, then retype it
Someone shares an error log as an image. You squint, zoom in, and manually type every character into your terminal.
PDFs that block copy-paste
Scanned documents, protected PDFs, and image-based reports lock text behind pixels. Selecting text does nothing.
Manual transcription wastes hours
Lecture slides, research posters, dashboard screenshots — you're retyping data that already exists in front of you.
