## What is Taplet?

This is the world's first web browser with auto-paste keyboard and text recognition capabilities as well as support for both the Apple Pencil and Touch. 
It allows for the ability to extract text from any picture and website displayed on the screen with just a simple tap on the screen. 

There are 7 modes available to copy text from the screen: 

1. Taplet
2. Draglet
3. Boxlet
4. Sizelet
5. Wavelet
6. Freestyle
7. Full Screen (In-App Purchase)

With Apple's Continuity, the copied text is available to paste to any Apple device including the Mac, iPhone, and iPad. 
This app is 100% advertisement free. I never ever never collect any data other than what is natively provided by Apple such as crash reports.

Feel free to message me about any bugs, feedbacks, and/or concerns.

Languages Supported: English, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, French, Chinese (Traditional & Simplified), and many more.

Please Note:
* Text recognition of videos is not supported at this time (Use Apple Live Text instead).
* Must enable full-access in the keyboard section of system settings for auto-paste capabilities.
*** Due to Apple Privacy restrictions starting in iOS/iPadOS 16, you may need to enable "Paste from Other Apps" in the iOS/iPadOS settings ***

### 5/5 — Fantastic! Time saver

*2025-11-14*

This application has saved me so much time and saves stress! Taking locked words/ sentence fragments and moving them using copy and paste powered by Taplet app is an amazing feeling and I highly recommend this to any professional. Students will also get a kick out this. I’ve used this app on my MacBook primarily and my mobile cell phone.

### 1/5 — Gateway App

*2023-09-19*

High hopes. Gateway paid app to upgrade to the features which should have been included. Would have been a five star if the features in front of you were included.

**Developer response:** I would like to learn more about your issues so I can fix them as soon as possible. Can you email me at JohnThrives@gmail.com so I can try to fix the issues you may have?

### 5/5 — Update

*2022-08-08, version 3.3.5*

I changed it to 5 stars because the development team understood the bugs I was experiencing and why I wanted the Apple File Viewer option. Looking forward to the bug fixes. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-01-06*

Love this app. Works amazingly

### 1/5 — Does not work as described

*2020-12-31*

I was so happy to come across this app since I have been hoping for this functionality for some time now.  However, the app does not work as described.  I can not even give details on what did not work because nothing about the app worked.  Besides loading the Google site, the app could not load a single other site and I tried several different sites.  I have reinstalled the app 2x now with the same lack of result.  Also my business partner had the same lack of result.  To the developer:  I politely ask that you make the app capable of what you claimed it could do and I will happily change my review.

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear the app does not work for you. Please email me at JohnThrives@gmail.com so I can gather some information and find a solution to resolve your issue.

Update: I recently released an updated version 1.4 that may resolve your issues. Please let me know if it meets your satisfaction.
