About Text Snipper
Text Snipper lets you copy visible English text from regular webpages by drawing a rectangle around it.
How it works:
1. Click the Text Snipper icon.
2. Drag a rectangle around the text you want.
3. Wait while the text is recognized.
4. The recognized text is automatically copied to your clipboard.
Features:
• Simple click-and-drag operation
• Local English text recognition
• Automatic image enhancement for clearer results
• No account required
• No uploads or external OCR services
• No usage quotas
• No advertisements
Text Snipper processes the captured image locally on your device. It does not collect, store, sell, or transmit your browsing data or recognized text.
Recognition works best with clear, readable, high-contrast text. Results may vary with decorative fonts, blurry images, very small text, or complex backgrounds.
