Textify - macOS app to recognize text from your images/docs with OCR

Wow, it works! @yellow8 Can you please please add basic keyboard shortcuts to the UI? e.g. cmd+o -> open image cmd+enter -> Recognize cmd+s -> Save as

Which languages are supported? ?makers

We want for Windows :3 <3

Nice little utility! I just have a little issue: I can't save the PDF with text integrated. I only have the little wheel, but it's stuck. Maybe it's because I'm on macOS Big Sur beta...

Textify version 1.2 is out (time flies!)! You can now directly paste images/PDFs in the app. I also added keyboard shortcuts for more efficiency while using the app. Pssst: The -70% discount on the PRO version is still available 😜

I'm super glad to introduce Textify. 🚀 Textify is a macOS app to recognize text on any image/PDF, and to export to PDF with the text integrated! Text recognition (OCR) has never been so easy and so accurate. Key features • Save result as a PDF with the text integrated above the image such that it looks like a pure text PDF. The PDF is searchable and you can copy/paste in it • Save as .txt • Select multiple images at once or just Drag & Drop • Apply filters on the images (colors, grayscale, b&w) • Adjust size and quality for smaller output file size • Instant output file size preview • Accuracy boost for English language by using a dictionary (more languages to come) • Everything happens on device, 100% locally, no server. Your data is safe and your privacy matters • Developed exclusively for macOS and compatible with dark mode What do I get by downloading the app? The app is entirely free. You can definitely stick with the free version and export for free as .txt or with a watermark on the PDF. The watermark is not added if you purchase the PRO version as a one-time in-app purchase. This will support my work as an indie developer and also bring you future free updates. My family and I thank you so much for your support. The PRO version is currently at -70% for app launch 🚀, which makes it cheaper than 2 beers. And I'd love a beer 🍻. If you are looking on how to purchase the PRO version, check the app preferences. A bit of history I am an indie developer and I previously created PDFZone and Zacc on macOS, as well as QuickScan: Image to Text PDF on iOS. Both macOS apps heavily use PDFs and read their contents. An OCR software was thus a logical new development. There is something going on with me and PDF, but I can't really tell. You guys have an idea? 😅 Anyway, I sincerely hope you enjoy the app. Feedback and reviews are welcome and very appreciated. I'd love to update the app with your suggestions. 👋🏻

What would you like to see first in the next update? Please detail!

Hello, considering buying this. But why is this any better than any other scan app?

Hey guys ! Textify is now in v2 and supports up to 8 languages for the OCR. Is is also compatible with Apple Silicons macs, and macOS Big Sur. And it has a new icon matching the new macOS interface. Can't wait for you to try it!

Very simple and easy to use

Application très intéressante, merci pour le partage

It looks very easy to use and I appreciate the free option. Comparing between this and other OCR options, can you tell us which OCR engine you are using in the back end? I have been looking at ABBYY to OCR textbooks but the cost is quite high for that option.

This looks really great, I'm interested.
