Ready for macOS 27 • Fast Screenshot OCR and long images no longer freeze or crash after you update to macOS 27. • The first Fast capture after a macOS update can take up to a minute while the system prepares text recognition. ZenOCR now shows a loading indicator while it waits, and later captures are instant. • Icons are back in the menu bar menu. New • Stats: see how many words ZenOCR has recognized for you, day by day, and share it as a card. A cleaner look • Task status is now a small badge on each thumbnail, and tasks that need your attention are grouped together. • Model Management shows what each engine is best for and which languages it reads. • Settings and first-time setup are simpler. Everything still runs on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded.

ZenOCR 2.0 adds a task queue, so you can drop in several files at once and let them convert one after another, pausing or reordering along the way. Text in Hindi, Thai, Japanese, Korean and Traditional Chinese now comes through correctly instead of as garbled characters.

Now support copy with formatting. Paste into Mail, Pages, or Word and tables stay tables, bold stays bold. You can turn this off in Settings to get raw markdown.

What's New in 1.3.0 Support image export: recognized documents can now be saved as Markdown with their figures included, all bundled in one folder. Fixed deepseek latext output: formulas from the DeepSeek engine now export as standard Markdown.

The all-new DeepSeek OCR engine is here. ZenOCR now includes a second on-device engine, DeepSeek-OCR-2, built for tougher documents. Dense layouts, complex tables, and multi-language text (including right-to-left scripts) come through much cleaner. • Two engines, your choice: switch engine and model anytime from the redesigned model manager • Resumable downloads: large model files now pick up right where they left off • Faster and lighter: quicker screen capture, lower memory use during long sessions, plus many stability fixes As always, everything runs fully offline on your Mac. Nothing is ever uploaded.

NEW: Screenshot OCR • Press a global hotkey, drag to select any part of your screen, and the recognized text is copied to your clipboard. Instant, and fully on-device. • Two modes. Fast (Apple Vision) for quick text, and AI (on-device model) for complex layouts, tables, and math. NEW: Menu bar app • ZenOCR now lives in your menu bar, so your screenshot hotkeys are always ready, even when no window is open. IMPROVED • Free trial extended to 7 days. • Fixed a crash on 8GB Macs during OCR.

Fixed bugs for 8G Mac Devices.
