About TextNab — Copy Text From Images & Video

TextNab lets you copy text that's stuck inside images and videos — lecture slides, tutorial videos, screenshots, memes, scanned pages, and more. Just click, drag over the text, and it's copied. HOW IT WORKS 1. Click the TextNab icon (or press Alt+Shift+O). 2. Drag a box over the text — even inside an image or a paused video. 3. The text appears in a small card and is copied to your clipboard. Edit it if you like. WHY TEXTNAB • 100% on-device — your images and text never leave your browser. No servers, no account, no sign-up. • Works offline — because there's no server to depend on, it keeps working with no internet. • 50+ languages — 11 built in (English, Bengali, Hindi, Urdu, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian) and 35+ more that download once, then work offline. A language picker lets you switch and re-read instantly. • Reads mixed lines — the default "Auto" mode reads a line that mixes English and Bengali together. • Ignores icons — it filters out gibberish from icons/graphics so you get the text, not noise. • Free. GREAT FOR Students copying notes from lecture videos • developers copying code from tutorials • researchers pulling text from images and PDFs • anyone who values privacy. PRIVACY TextNab reads text on your device only. It collects no data. The only network request is a one-time language-pack download from a public model host (tessdata.projectnaptha.com) — it contains none of your data. See our privacy policy.
