About TextSnap - Copy Text from Video

ver wanted to copy text that's locked inside a video? A code snippet in a tutorial, a quote on a slide, a caption, a phone number, an address — text you can see but can't select. TextSnap fixes that. Pause the video, click the TextSnap button, and it recognizes the on-screen text so you can select and copy it like any normal text. No more pausing-and-retyping or squinting at your screen. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW IT WORKS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. Pause any video. 2. Click the "Copy" button that appears (or press Alt+S). 3. TextSnap recognizes the text and lays it over the frame. 4. Click a line to copy it — or select several and copy them all at once. That's it. The text is on your clipboard, ready to paste anywhere. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Accurate recognition — high-quality OCR that handles code, multiple languages, and small text. • One-click copy — click any recognized line to copy it instantly. • Multi-select — Ctrl/Cmd-click or drag to grab several lines, then copy them together. • Code-friendly — turn on "Preserve indentation" and copied code keeps its layout. • Works everywhere — any HTML5 video in Chrome: tutorials, lectures, courses, streams, conference talks. • Keyboard shortcut — Alt+S toggles copy mode on a paused video. • Clean and lightweight — no clutter, no sign-up to start. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PERFECT FOR ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Developers copying code from coding tutorials and screencasts • Students grabbing notes from lecture slides • Researchers pulling quotes and data from talks • Anyone who needs text trapped in a video ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRICING ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Try it free — every install includes free recognitions so you can make sure it works for you. A one-time purchase unlocks unlimited use, forever. No subscription. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRIVACY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TextSnap only processes the single video frame you choose, and only when you click to recognize it. It does not record video, track your browsing, or read your other tabs. Frame images are processed to extract text and are not stored.
