Screenshot to Text reads the words in a screenshot and gives them back as plain text, ready to paste into an email, a document, a search box or a translator. It runs in your browser, so screenshots of private conversations or account pages stay on your device.
What people copy from screenshots
| Screenshot of | Why copy the text |
|---|---|
| An error message or log | Search for it or paste it into a support ticket |
| A chat or email | Quote it in a reply or a document |
| A web page that blocks copying | Get the paragraph you need |
| A slide or video frame | Turn bullet points into notes |
| A settings screen | Share exact values with a colleague |
Getting clean text
- Take the screenshot at normal zoom; text that was shrunk to fit is harder to read.
- Crop to the part you need before dropping it; less clutter means fewer stray words.
- Lines are returned top to bottom. Text in two columns side by side is joined on one line, so check and fix the order in the text box before copying.
