[This app is designed for visually impaired people]
FishScreenReader uses OCR to recognize text on the screen, helping you use apps that VoiceOver can't work with. In addition, this app can also read images on the clipboard.
VoiceOver is a good way to use Apple devices for people with visual impairments, but many apps are not optimized for it. When VoiceOver can't read the interface of these apps, FishScreenReader is the tool you need.
This app can capture the screen or any window to recognize using OCR. It gives you a list to interact with. You can use hotkeys to read the list. When you find something you want, you can use hotkeys to click, double-click, or right-click on them.
You can learn more from the tour shown at first run.

You can change which OCR service to use in the preference window. Microsoft Azure, Google Vision, or even use the offline engine.
No vibe coding involved: Crafted by an indie developer with love.
This app will not upload or save your screen for purposes other than OCR.
