TextSniper has been a life saver. I had to take an online course that had questions in which the text were not selectable. So I was able to use TextSniper OCR to copy the text and paste it into a search engine to review.

Chauncey Davis πŸ‘β€¨
I love this little app - I do a lot of training docs, and sometimes I need to grab quotes and more so numbers and codes that are in screen shots or images.

E Chu πŸ‘β€¨
Awesome app! I use it to capture slide contents on Zoom calls. Highly recommended. Fast and accurate!

Danielle Williams πŸ‘
Can't imagine my computer without it. It does exactly what it says. I needed some text off of a pdf and it took it in perfectly.

Thilo Schmidt πŸ‘
It is an excellent, helpful and well-working app that saves me time. I have already recommended TextSniper to my Mac colleagues.
