How to use this tool
Capture
Take a screenshot with your OS tools.
Paste
Focus this page and press Ctrl+V / ⌘V.
Copy text
Run OCR, then copy or download TXT.
Why a separate page from Image to Text
Screenshot to Text emphasizes clipboard paste as the primary path. Same OCR engine, different workflow and search intent.
Privacy for screen captures
Screenshots often include chat, email, or dashboard data. Recognition stays in this tab — nothing is uploaded.
