TextSniper is an easy-to-use desktop Mac OCR app that can extract and recognize any non-searchable and non-editable text on your Mac's screen. As an extra feature, it can turn OCR text into speech. It is a super convenient alternative to complicated optical character recognition tools.
The tool is intuitive to use and makes extracting text from your images, scanned paper documents, PDFs, or even videos easy. No training or special skills are required, and it fits perfectly home and business Mac users. Easily accessible from the menu bar whenever you need it and has a simple user interface.
If you have used a built-in Mac screen capture application before, it wouldn't be any trouble to work with TextSniper, too. Select with a mouse any part of an image, photo, PDF document, or anything on your screen, and the app will process and recognize any text within this selection. The text output will be saved into a clipboard so you can paste it into your favourite macOS text editing or note-taking software.
Finally, the app's optical character recognition engine doesn't need an internet connection to process documents. Great OCR solution for those who are concerned about privacy. The application does not collect any users' data.
Use Cases:
• Convert different image formats to text (JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, etc.).
• Pull text from a non-searchable PDF file without a need to process the whole document.
• Read text from images, PDF documents, photos, Zoom meetings, or any other sources.
• Copy text even when it is uncopiable, like in ebooks or web articles.
• Quickly extract emails, links, phone numbers, etc.
• Grab text or turn it into speech in video games.
• Read QR or barcodes.
• Quickly generate alt text from the screenshot for tweets.

• On-device OCR technology. No internet connection is needed.

Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Choice
We’ve all come across text we wanted to copy but couldn’t—in a photo, screenshot, PDF, video, online presentation, or app. With TextSniper, if you can see text on the screen, you can copy it to the Clipboard using a simple screenshot-style tool.
Incredible App & Support!
I had purchased this app from the App store a while back after reading about it, it was an Editors Choice App and one I was interested in at the time for work, on my Mac. I had never used or needed the app until recently; had a tough time figuring out how to get it to start/work. I submitted a inquiry for support and the Dev, (himself), replied promptly and educated me for which I am very grateful and appreciative! Especially on the quick reply, which then I was able to use the App as needed and it was super easy, fast and exactly what it says it does! Sincerely great and easy to use App! Thank you Valerijs!
Amazing customer support!
I ran into some issues with the app due to my curiousty in trying incompatible macOS developer beta. I was impressed with the customer support: the app developer was very responsive and was able to help with the app working again.
In terms of the app, it is an invaluable tool that can save you a lot of time if you copy texts from pictures/scanned documents. I echo the same sentiment with the other reviewers who stated that it is an app 'you never realize you needed'. I'm in healthcare and have to copy text from scanned medical records. This app helps me to do that and literally saves me hours.
