Some text refuses to be selected: a dialog, a video frame, a slide, or a virtual machine. Draw a region around it and PixelScan uses Apple Vision OCR to turn it into text you can copy. Recognition runs locally on your Mac, with no server involved. A focused Mac utility for the moments when text is visible but not selectable.
Hi Product Hunt!
We built PixelScan to solve a small but persistent frustration: sometimes the text you need is visible on your screen, but there’s no way to select or copy it.
With PixelScan, you draw a region around the text and Apple Vision OCR extracts it locally on your Mac. I’d love to hear where this would be useful in your workflow, and what kinds of on-screen text you find yourself needing to copy.
