Capture text from any area on screen
Draw a box around any text — on a page, a PDF, or a protected site — and get it back as editable text.
- 1
Click the Smart Text Capture icon in the toolbar and choose "Capture Text", or press Alt+Shift+S from any page.
- 2
Drag a box around the text you want. This works on ordinary pages, PDFs opened in the browser, and most protected sites.
- 3
Release the mouse. Smart Text Capture recognizes the text locally, with nothing uploaded, and shows the result in the OCR results panel.
- 4
Each successful capture counts toward the Free daily quota; a capture that fails or is cancelled does not use a credit.
Free includes 5 successful captures a day. Pro removes the daily limit.
