A link in a screen share. Code in a video. Text in a scanned PDF. Press ⇧⌘2, drag, and paste. Letra turns on-screen text into clipboard text, entirely on your Mac. Includes QR scanning, multilingual OCR, and searchable history. $5.99 once. No subscription.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Nikhil, the maker of Letra.
Ever spotted an address, recipe, or useful note in a YouTube video and wished you could save it? Or had someone share a link on Zoom without dropping it in the chat? Sometimes the text you need is right there on screen, but you can’t select it.
With Letra, just press ⇧⌘2, drag over the text, and paste it wherever you need it. No retyping and no extra windows to manage. Letra lives in your Mac’s menu bar until you need it.
It can also:
Extract text from screenshots, clipboard images, image files, and PDFs.
Read QR codes, barcodes, and reasonably neat handwriting.
Recognize multiple languages automatically.
Keep a searchable history of your captures on your Mac. Auto remove sensitive texts.
Work with Raycast, Alfred, and Shortcuts through its URL scheme.
Text recognition runs locally using Apple’s Vision framework. Your captures stay on your Mac, and Letra works offline. No account needed.

What’s something you’ve had to retype because you couldn’t copy it? I’d love to hear how you’d use Letra and what you think of it.
