SnapText vs Atelier Easel

Turn any image into editable text with SnapText. SnapText makes OCR simple. Capture a photo, scan a document, or choose an image from your Photos and extract the text in seconds. WHY SNAPTEXT? • Extract text from photos, screenshots, documents, and camera captures • Edit extracted text instantly • Copy or share text anywhere • Scan multiple pages and documents • Search your saved scans • Detect useful information such as links, emails, and phone numbers • Export your text for easy reuse • Clean up formatting and remove unwanted line breaks • Dark Mode and accessibility support • Works offline for core OCR features PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your text recognition happens on your device using Apple's Vision framework. No account or authentication is required. SnapText does not use third-party analytics, tracking, advertising SDKs, or external OCR/AI services. Your images and extracted text stay on your device unless you explicitly choose to share or export them. Simple. Private. Useful. Open SnapText, capture an image, extract the text, and start editing.
