## What is ZapCopy?

ZapCopy turns a photo of paper into something you can use: a spreadsheet, a contact, a translation, a summary, or plain text ready to paste.

Try it free, no account needed. Open the app, tap Scan something, and photograph a receipt, a business card, a page of notes or a menu. You get the text in seconds and one free workflow to turn it into what you actually need. Create an account only if you want to keep going.

WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR
• Receipt to spreadsheet: every line and every number, exported as an Excel file
• Business card to contact: name, company, phone and email straight into Contacts
• Menu, sign or handwritten notes to translation: photograph it, read it in your language
• Lecture notes, textbooks and whiteboards to a clean summary or study outline
• Locked PDFs, read-only screens and printouts to editable text, no retyping
• A funny comment about whatever you scanned, when that is what the moment needs

HOW IT WORKS
1. Scan. Take a photo, pick one from your library, or capture several pages in one session.
2. Read. ZapCopy extracts the text, including handwriting, and shows it to you before anything else happens.
3. Choose. Pick what the scan becomes: Spreadsheet, Contact, Translate, Summary, Explain, Email draft, Calendar event, Reminders, Funny, or describe it in your own words.
4. Send. Copy it, share it to Notes, Messages, Mail or any app, or hand it to VS Code, Cursor or Google Docs with the companion extensions.

WORKFLOWS
Build a workflow once and reuse it: Scan, then an instruction, then an output format. Point it at a stack of receipts and get one spreadsheet. Point it at a recipe and get a cook-along. Point it at a page of notes and get the summary you would have written yourself, plus a diagram or a table when the content calls for one.

VIDEO AND MULTI-PAGE
Capture text from a video or a screen recording, even while it scrolls. Photograph a multi-page document in one session and process it as a set.

PRIVACY
Nothing is sent until you tap Extract text. Lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID. Delete any scan, or your whole account, from Settings.

### 5/5 — Super helpful!

*2026-06-03*

This app was super helpful when I needed to transfer text from my work computer to my personal computer and I didn’t want to send it directly in email. I also needed to pull text from various documents and reformat them in different programs like Canva and in design and this app made it really easy to send it to myself.

**Developer response:** Thank you Kate! Moving text between devices without retyping is exactly what we built ZapCopy for, so we are thrilled it helped. If you ever want it to land straight in a specific editor, the send-to-editor flow does that too. Happy scanning!

### 5/5 — Easy and convenient

*2026-05-03*

I have used ZapCopy to quickly and easily convert text directly taken from photos and videos. This helps me skip having to type or write things by hand myself. The process is convenient and straightforward.
I’m using it to capture and transcribe text in English, Spanish, and Japanese, which I can add to a document and use for studying or writing essays. Highly recommended!

**Developer response:** Thanks Roberto! Skipping the retyping from photos and videos is the whole idea, and it means a lot to hear it is saving you time. If there is ever a scan type you would love us to handle better, reach out at support@zapcopy.app any time.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.15 — 2026-09-14

Scan something first. The welcome screen now opens on the scanner, and creating an account waits until you have seen a real result.

Funny got a voice. On a screenshot of a conversation it now writes as you, to the other person, instead of commenting from the sidelines. It also declines a handful of things it should never joke about and hands you the text instead.

Before your first scan, a short note explains where your photo goes and for how long. Guests: the photo is deleted within 24 hours and the extracted text within 48. Your copy stays on your phone.

Deleting the app now signs you out. More opens the full list of outputs. The trial sheet says what it means.

### 1.14 — 2026-09-07

Scan first, sign up later. Try ZapCopy before creating an account: scan one document and run one workflow for free, straight from the welcome screen.

Funny is now one tap away on every scan.

If a card payment fails, your subscription keeps working while the bank sorts it out instead of stopping the same day.

Plus smaller fixes.

### 1.13 — 2026-08-19
