What is Easy Screen OCR FOR MAC?

Easy Screen OCR

Easy Screen OCR is a handy little app for your Mac that uses Google's powerful OCR tech. Its main goal? To make it super easy to turn text from screenshots into editable content.

How Easy Screen OCR Works

First things first, you need to know that Easy Screen OCR requires an active Internet connection. It sends and receives data from Google's cloud OCR service, so make sure you're online!

Minimalist Design

This app is designed to be simple and unobtrusive. It hangs out in your Mac's status bar, just waiting for you to call it up using a keyboard shortcut you set or the default one.

Capturing Your Screenshots

When you're ready to grab some text, hit that hotkey! You can either select a specific window or drag your mouse over the area you want to capture. Just keep in mind that while it should let you pick the window, it captures whatever's displayed on the screen rather than what's actually in the window.

Extracting Text Easily

Once you take a screenshot, Easy Screen OCR shows it in its interface where you can quickly grab the text by clicking the OCR button. It's pretty straightforward!

Saving Your Work

You can save your snapshots as PNG or PDF files right on your Mac. Thanks to Google's OCR magic, this app lets you capture text from over 100 languages!

A Few Bumps Along the Way

Even though Easy Screen OCR works really well most of the time, there are some quirks. For instance, if you're trying to screenshot something with lots of text, scrolling through that captured text isn't possible since there are no scroll bars in the text area.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for an easy way to turn any screenshot into editable text on your Mac, Easy Screen OCR is definitely worth checking out—even with its few little hiccups!
