Q: Cancelled?

I installed it on my Mac Mini with M2 Chip, but every time when I try to use it to copy text from an image from a Facebook post, it says CANCELLED. Why?

A: Hello Dan,

To ensure that TextSniper runs correctly, it needs Screen Recording Permissions. Here’s how to grant these permissions quickly:

1. Open System Settings and navigate to Privacy & Security.
2. Click on Screen & System Audio Recording.
3. Locate TextSniper and toggle its permission ON.

(If TextSniper is not listed, you can add it by clicking the + button and selecting it from your Applications folder.)

Once you have enabled the permission, try capturing some text again. You should receive a success notification saying, "Copied to clipboard."

I hope this helps! If you need further assistance, please contact us at support@textsniper.app.
