TextSniper is a super useful app to quickly capture unselectable text. Use it to capture and recognize text from presentations, trainings, screencasts, images, pictures, webpages, video tutorials, photos, PDFs etc.

The best $5 I ever spent. It's now $8, but still worth it. I have TONS of ideas for v2. If you sit on video conference calls with slides being shared, this is a dream for capturing information you can use in your daily duties.

It saved me enough time in just one day to justify the expense!

Just 4,28€ and I can quickly copy and paste text and numbers from PDFs. Will save me from a lot of typos and also save me time. What a bargain :-)

can it record words from a playing video over a period of time?
Valerijs Boguckis
@yyonfai Thank you for asking. No it does not. It can't recognize text over period of time.

Are you using Google's Tesseract API?

Looks useful

Discovered this super-nifty utility shared on Reddit. Purchased it for $5 (launch promo on their website). Hope the developers keep supporting it.

Can it recognize japanese by screenshot?
Valerijs Boguckis
@th_nguy_n4 Thank you for your question. Currently, TextSniper fully supports the English language. Some Latin languages could have issues with accented character recognition. We are considering to add more languages.

please support japanese language

Very interesting! @valerijs_boguckis. How did you come up with the idea? And how are you identifying text via screenshots? Best of luck!
Valerijs Boguckis
@rish154 Good question. Ones I was watching dev conference on YouTube, presenter shared some GitHub repository link to the viewers. The link was on the screen. So I had to pause the video and type it manually into the browser. You know, it takes a lot of time and could have some typos. Then I thought how cool it would be if I could just select some area on the screen with text and convert it to the editable text copied to clipboard That how I started to develop TextSniper.
