Follow the improvements that make Smart Text Capture faster, more useful, and more private—without adding more steps to your day.

Release candidate

v1.1.0 — Faster first wins, stronger workflows.

  • Import an image directly from the extension; Pro can process a local batch of up to 25 images.
  • Free includes 5 successful captures a day, one OCR language, one image at a time, and the latest 3 local history items.
  • Pro adds unlimited captures, two-language OCR, batch input, site profiles, searchable and editable history, backup, restore, redaction, and multi-format exports.
  • Try Pro locally for 3 days without an account or payment card.
  • Follow a first-run practice flow with a visual guide for pinning Smart Text Capture to the Chrome or Edge toolbar.
  • Choose a plan before sharing an email in secure Stripe Checkout; the purchasing browser unlocks Pro automatically after verified payment.
  • Successful checkout returns now show one clear Pro success state and no redundant manual-activation checklist.
  • Manage recurring subscriptions through a verified Stripe Customer Portal handoff and see a bounded payment-grace deadline when applicable.
  • Use a keyboard-accessible, enlargeable activation guide when adding an existing license to another device.
  • Privacy-safe, opt-in product events help improve onboarding and Pro gates without collecting OCR text, screenshots, URLs, emails, or license keys.
Initial release

v1.0.0 — Capture less. Create more.

Available now

Capture text wherever it appears

Draw around text in a page, image, document, or paused video. Smart Text Capture turns what you can see into text you can use.

Private OCR, right in your browser

Recognition runs locally with no screenshot uploads, so sensitive notes, research, and work documents stay where they belong.

Shape, review, and keep results

Choose plain, paragraph, line, or code cleanup. Reopen multi-result review, then back up and restore local history; Pro adds search, tags, editing, and exports.

Also included: 14 OCR languages, two-language Pro recognition, dark-image preprocessing, per-site profiles, redacted Pro exports, a local 7-day Pro trial, and protected email-code license recovery. Free includes 10 captures per day and 10 history items. Website APIs include request limits, signed payment webhooks, secure headers, and fail-closed production configuration.

  • Production ignores development-only Mock Pro settings.
  • Backup restore validates supported local data and has a 10 MB file limit.
  • CSV exports protect formula-like OCR text; checkout and license-management links use short-lived one-time tokens.
