Just got back from the team meeting. Everyone agreed the new feature should ship by Friday, but we still need to finalize the design and run a quick test before pushing it live.

Built-in OCR

What about text you can't select?

Cmd+C+C works great for text you can highlight. But images, scanned PDFs, and locked interfaces are a different story — you can't select a single character.

TextBoi's built-in OCR reads the text visually, so you can fix or translate anything on your screen — no matter what app it's in.

🖼️

Screenshots

See text in a screenshot? Drag to select the area — TextBoi reads it and fixes it instantly.

📄

Scanned PDFs & Images

Non-selectable PDFs and image files are no longer an obstacle — OCR extracts every word.

🔒

Locked interfaces

Apps that block copy-paste aren't a problem. If you can see the text, TextBoi can read it.

DeepL can't do this · Grammarly can't do this · TextBoi can.

OCR Capture

Point, drag, done.

Cmd+Shift+C to enter capture mode, drag over any text on screen — even from images or locked apps — and TextBoi reads and fixes it instantly.

Real app demo

Here's how OCR capture works in the actual TextBoi app. Notice how it reads text from a screenshot — no copy-paste, no retyping.

Q2 Campaign Results

Hi team,
 
Just wanted to share a quick update on our Q2 numbers.
The results has been very impressive — we seen a 34%
increase in engagement compare to last quarter.
 
The new ad creatives performed well, especially on
social medias. I think we need to looking more carefully
at our landing page and make some improvement before
the next cycle.
 
Please review and let I know your thoughts by Friday.
 
Best,
Sarah

Simulated demo — real TextBoi reads from your actual screen via built-in OCR

No other tool does both.

Every alternative makes you copy-paste — and none of them can read locked text. textBoi removes both problems at once.
