About LensCapture

LensCapture is a fast, lightweight, and private text extraction utility that functions like Google Lens right inside your web browser. Drag a box over any image, scanned document, PDF, or video stream on a webpage to instantly capture, read, and copy its text content. 🚀 Key Features: Instant Area OCR: Simply click the capture button (or press Space when not typing) and draw a box over any text on the screen to extract it. 100% Local & Private: Unlike other tools, your captures are processed entirely on your machine using Tesseract.js. No images, screenshots, or extracted texts are ever sent to external servers or cloud services. Smart Placement Panel: The result box appears contextually next to your selection for quick editing, review, and copying. High-Accuracy Scaling: Automatically upscales cropped images prior to processing to significantly improve OCR precision on small or light fonts. Draggable & Boundary-Clamped UI: Move the results window anywhere on your screen. It automatically keeps itself within the viewable workspace. Quick Re-scanning: Press the R key or click "Scan Again" on the result panel to immediately initiate another selection. OCR Confidence Indicator: Displays real-time accuracy scoring so you know if your selection was processed clearly. 📖 How to Use: Activate Capture: Click the extension icon in your browser toolbar, or press the Spacebar on any webpage (when not typing in an input field). Crop the Area: Click and drag a selection box over the text you want to capture. Copy & Close: Review the extracted text in the draggable result window, click Copy to save it to your clipboard, or press Escape to close. Quick Re-Scan: Click Scan Again or press R to take another capture instantly.
