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.

Review, copy, and edit results in the OCR panel

Every capture lands in one panel where you can check, fix, and copy the text before you use it.

Still stuck? Contact support and include what you were capturing and which browser you use. Do not send your licence key or a screenshot containing it — we can find your licence from your checkout email address.
