About

OCR Copy

Features

Read full description

OCR Copy is a local-first OCR utility for quickly copying text from camera, live scan, and photos. Use live scan, take a photo, or pick an image from Photos to read text and copy it right away. You can edit or remove only the lines you need while keeping the original OCR result. Saved text stays on your device so you can return to it and copy it again later. OCR language settings are available when Auto does not read the text well. Confidence and text position are detail information, not accuracy scores. Photos and text are not sent to an external server. Processing and storage stay on device.
