LOCAL TEXT RECOGNITION
An error message, a quotation, an important note: recognize text in your images and copy it where you need it. Snaprivo runs OCR locally using Apple Vision.
Text recognition and optional image text search in Pro
macOS 26+ · English & German · In development
THREE SIMPLE STEPS
Take a screenshot or open an existing image in the editor. Choose a capture in which the text you need is easy to read.
Start text recognition and review the result. Processing happens on your Mac; image content is not uploaded to an OCR service for this operation.
Copy the recognized text into a document, your notes or a support request. Compare names, numbers and unusual characters with the original before using them.
When you cannot select an error message, capture it in a screenshot and extract the text with OCR. You can paste its exact wording into a support request and keep the image as visual context.
Text recognition can make mistakes. Small type, low contrast and unusual characters may produce incorrect results. Review the copied text before relying on it or passing it on.
Optional local image text search helps you find captures through visible words in the image. Content indexing is off by default. When enabled, Snaprivo builds a local, rebuildable search cache; turning indexing off removes it.
Direct text recognition in the editor is separate. Its dialog result is not saved in the project or search index. You can copy text from a single image without turning on content indexing for your library.
No. Snaprivo uses Apple Vision locally on your Mac. A cloud-synced storage folder you choose may still be synchronized by its provider, independently of text recognition.
Pro can suggest possible email addresses, phone numbers and IBAN-like numbers. Review the matches and cover selected areas. Recognition can miss details, so check the image before sharing and export a flattened image.
No. Direct OCR in the editor and optional content indexing in the library are separate features. Both are included in Pro.
