What it is

Easy Screen OCR is a macOS desktop app that captures a selected screen area and turns text in screenshots or other images into editable text. After screen-recording permission is enabled, a customizable hotkey takes the screenshot and copies the recognized text to the clipboard. The app lists more than 100 OCR languages, automatic language detection, and translation for recognized text. Its history stores earlier OCR results, screenshots, recognized text, and translations. OCR is described as running locally and offline, without uploads. The free plan is listed at free and includes full functionality, batch OCR for up to five images, and translation up to 1,000 characters. Pro adds larger batch jobs and extended translation capacity. Monthly, yearly, and lifetime plans are listed without prices. macOS 13.0 or later is required.
