TextSniper

Meet TextSniper

TextSniper extracts text from a selected area of the Mac screen. A keyboard shortcut or menu-bar command starts capture; users mark the region, and recognized text goes to the clipboard for pasting into another application. This works with material whose text cannot be selected directly, such as a video frame, image, or scanned page. QR and barcode reading provide another form of capture, while spoken output reads recognized text aloud. The shortcut can be customized, and language support depends on macOS. Users can review the captured wording before reusing it, especially where symbols or unusual formatting affect recognition.
