Press ⌥⌘1, drag over the area, and the text is instantly in your clipboard. FEATURES • Copy text from the screen — 18 recognition languages, including English, Russian, Ukrainian, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Korean • Even from photos — signs, receipts and neat handwriting • Read aloud — select text in any app or on screen and listen to it in a small player with pause, rewind and word highlighting • Fix wrong keyboard layout — select “ghbdtn” and turn it into “привет” right where you typed it (Services menu) • Clipboard history — everything you copy is one click away in the menu bar. Passwords, crypto wallet addresses and recovery phrases, private keys and API keys are never saved • Works from the menu bar, with global shortcuts you can change LINGRAB PRO (one-time purchase) • Instant translation of screen text with Apple's built-in translator (macOS 15 or later) • Choice of voice and reading speed • Custom keyboard shortcuts • Clipboard history up to 500 items PRIVATE BY DESIGN Text recognition, translation and speech run entirely on your Mac.
