Screenotate FOR MAC

Screenotate

Screenotate is a handy app that makes taking screenshots way easier. You can grab a screenshot and extract text from it all in one go! Usually, you’d have to use an extra tool called an OCR engine to pull text from your images, but Screenotate does it all together. It saves you time and effort!

How Does Screenotate Work?

This app is super simple to use. Once you have it running, just hit a hotkey to bring up a selection box. Then, you can easily choose the area of the screen where the text is located. If you want, there’s another hotkey that copies the image right to your clipboard too.

Saving Your Screenshots

Once you've taken your screenshot, Screenotate gets to work. It uses its built-in OCR engine to find and pull out any text from the image. Then it saves everything into an HTML file! This file includes cool details like a timestamp, the window title, and even the URL for some browsers.

Finding Your Screenshots

If you're looking for something specific later on, just click on the app's icon in your menu bar. You can type in any words in the search field to help find screenshots that might have what you need. Thanks to all that metadata Screenotate records, finding what you're after should be pretty easy!

Your Privacy Matters

A lot of OCR engines are web-based, which could make privacy-conscious folks uneasy since your screenshots and extracted texts might end up on some remote server. But with Screenotate, there’s no need to worry! The app runs everything on your own computer—no uploads happening here!

Final Thoughts on Screenotate

This application is definitely worth checking out if you often need to grab text from screenshots. It's easy to use and has a strong OCR engine at its core! Just keep in mind that right now it's only set up for English.
