TextSniper - OCR Simplified Reviews

I just bought TextSniper and the fact that it lives in the menu bar makes it more difficult to use. I had hoped for a basic feature of simply adding an image or even bulk add several images that I want to extract the text from. I have several screenshots on my computer that I would have to open, make another screenshot from so that the app can extract the text. Actually not helpful at all for my use case ... which I believe is a basic use case. Importing can only be done from mobile devices. And "importing" in fact , means the camera on the mobile device is triggered and can be used to make a photo. I dont understand, why I cannot simply add already made screenshots.

I bought this because it was five dollars, and with my plus discount it was basically free. I had no idea that I would end up using it every single day. Weirdly enough, this little tool is one of my most used LTD’s.

This product does what it says. It's simple and easy to use. As a busy student, I use it everyday to help me copy text from images and videos when taking notes. Thank you for delivering exactly what you promise!!!

I was making thousands of screen shots and had no way to search through them because the text wasn't OCR-ed. When I saw the offer on AppSumo I was really happy and got the app immediately. This is a very fair deal and you just get a dmg software and no need to connect to the internet. Got one more copy for my friend and now we both can install it on 3 machines. A real bargain and an amazing productivity tool. Highly recommended! Thank you guys!

I just purchased TextSniper and so far am pretty impressed with 2 things.

1. Super fast customer support email. (Thank you!)
2. The OCR was pretty accurate when copying a sloppy handwritten note. (And it was written with a thicker white board marker.)
