Text out of pixels
Pull readable text from a photo, a screenshot, or a scanned page, so a quote on a slide or a number on a receipt becomes something you can paste.
Extract searchable text from images and scanned PDFs.
OCR Studio reads the text trapped inside an image, a screenshot, or a scanned PDF and hands it back as selectable, copyable text - lift a quote off a slide, pull numbers out of a receipt, or make an old scan searchable, all on your Mac.
