LiveScan makes it easy to capture text from your screen, including video conferences and websites like Twitter or Facebook. It's like Apple's new LiveText feature, but runs on all macOS 11 and 12 computers!

Ratings and Reviews
Saved my bacon!
I am an author. My first book was published in 2005. Since then, the Word document has gone missing. I want to publish an updated edition but dreaded the thought of retyping 616 pages. This app is brilliant!!! I scan each page, get the text and save it in a word processing app (I’m using One Note). I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this app and am truly grateful for the time and effort I’m saving by using it. Thank you.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for the wonderful review and I'm glad it was able to help you out!
