About Smart OCR Capture
Smart OCR Capture turns anything on your screen into editable text. Press a hotkey, drag a box over any region of any monitor, and the text lands on your clipboard in about a second. It works on images, videos, PDFs, error dialogs, scanned documents, anything you can see.
Everything runs on your device. No image and no text ever leaves your PC.
WHAT YOU GET
- One hotkey to capture. Default Ctrl+Shift+O, fully configurable.
- Drag to select any region across multiple monitors and DPI scales.
- Recognized text copied to the clipboard automatically.
- A searchable history of every capture, with thumbnails and timestamps.
- Edit recognized text inline. Re-run OCR on any capture.
- Export text, summaries, or the captured image to a file.
BUILT FOR COPILOT+ PCs
On Copilot+ PCs, Smart OCR Capture automatically uses the higher-accuracy Windows AI text recognizer and generates a short summary of longer captures in the background. On every other Windows 10 and 11 PC it uses the built-in OCR engine, so the app always works.
