About ICU OCR: Intelligent Capture Utility
Whether it’s a screenshot, diagram, scanned page, or even a meme, ICU OCR extracts text/ ideas and magically sends them to your favorite app — if you so choose.
Requests for new integrations are most welcome!
✨ Why ICU OCR?
Most OCR tools stop at raw text. ICU OCR is built for real workflows: it combines modern OCR with top AI models (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, Grok) to not only read text, but also understand, format, and route it to your favorite apps.
🚀 KEY FEATURES
▪ FREE FOREVER: Plug in your own LLM API keys and you're good to go!
▪ Multiple Capture Methods: Right-click any image, drag & drop with Alt/Option, or paste from your clipboard. ICU OCR adapts to your flow.
▪ Drop Zones: Configure reusable workflows with custom prompts. Extract as JSON, summarize, translate, generate alt-text, or just keep it verbatim.
▪ Integrations: Send results straight to Workflowy or Notion. More apps are on the way.
▪ Choose Your AI: Switch between OpenAI (gpt-4o-mini), Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, and Grok Vision.
▪ History & Clipboard Manager: Every capture is logged with source, provider, and timestamp. Copy back, manage, or clear history in one click.
▪ Privacy First: All keys and history are stored locally on your device. Nothing is ever tracked or shared.
🤗 WHO IT’S FOR
▪ Researchers and students extracting tables, references, and notes.
▪ Knowledge workers capturing diagrams, slides, etc. into structured outlines.
▪ Productivity geeks who live in Workflowy, Notion, or both.
▪ Anyone tired of copy-paste gymnastics when moving text from images.
