TextSniper is a desktop Mac OCR app that can extract and recognize non-searchable and editable text on a Mac's screen, and can turn text into speech. It is presented as an alternative to difficult and complicated optical character recognition tools. The tool aims to make extracting text from images, paper documents, PDFs or videos easy. It is accessible from the menu bar and boasts a simple user interface. The vendor says working with TextSniper is like using a built-in mac's screen capture…
The most common scenario is a need to do a high-level OCR-scan of a document followed by heavy editing. I believe that FineReader is in its own league in that regard, and there is no single reason why would someone choose an alternative soft for the purpose.
Another common scenario is a need of detailed comparison of pdf documents. A massive help!
TextSniper is well suited if you are doing any work where you deal with OCR files, noneditable and nonsearchable text you can use TextSniper to edit and copy those texts and update and use in your project or document, this is best when you use zoom or any video chatting and having any text and related text to copy or nonsearchable text to use, TextSniper is best for to make your life easier and save your time.
While Adobe Reader can identify documents and convert them to some other various formats, it cannot process the documents to identify tables for use in Excel. We only had success by letting Adobe read a file for any identifiable text but it wasn't always accurate. FineReaders ability to handle hundreds of pages at once felt leaps and bounds above Adobe
TextSniper is more reliable and secure, you can trust the UI of this software and it's more easy and more fun to use. Rossum is more costly and a very less number of people recommend me to go with Rossum. TextSniper is more popular and has some great features for the users who are really interested in such tools.
Great positive impact on productivity as it helps to avoid spending so much time scanning or editing documents
Staff use the time saved with this tool on the substantive tasks of their position
