What is TextSniper?

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 application: select with a mouse any part of image, photo, PDF document or anything on screen and the app will process and recognize text within this selection. The text output will be saved into a clipboard, so users can paste it into a macOS text editing or note-taking software. Finally, TextSniper's optical character recognition engine doesn't need an internet connection to process documents. It's presented as an ideal OCR solution for those who concerned about their privacy, as it does not collect users' data.
