Everscroll
For text trapped inside images
Screenshots are useful because they preserve context, but sometimes you need the words inside them. Everscroll lets you capture the visual record and still copy the text for notes, bug reports, research, support replies, or documentation.
The workflow stays on your Mac: capture once, run OCR, copy the recognized text, and save the screenshot or searchable PDF when you need a durable record.
How to copy text from a screenshot
- Open the page, chat, document, app window, or image that contains the text.
- Use Everscroll to capture the visible area or a longer scrolling section.
- Choose the text extraction action after capture.
- Copy the recognized text into notes, docs, support tickets, or search.
- Use searchable PDF export if you want the screenshot and text together.
Readable source text gives better results. Increase zoom before capture when the original text is tiny or low contrast.
Where screenshot text helps
Bug reports
Copy error messages and logs while keeping the original screenshot for context.
Receipts
Extract confirmation numbers, totals, and line items from captured records.
Research
Save quotes and snippets from long pages without retyping them by hand.
