There are times when we see a piece of text on a photo and video and need to note it down. The usual way is to keep that photo or video open and then type the text in a note-taking app like Evernote or a word processor of your choice. But this takes time, and you have to very careful when writing things down. Thankfully, there’s a way you can extract text from images and videos on Mac in seconds. So, if you ever need to copy text from images, videos, or anywhere else for that matter, here is how you can do it.
While I have mentioned only images and videos in the title to keep it succinct, the method I am going to show you works everywhere. That means you can extract text from Epub readers, PowerPoints, graphics, and more.
- Download and install the TextSniper app from the above link and launch it. You will find its icon in the menu bar.
In all my usage, TextSniper has never failed me once. It works like magic, and I am so happy that this app exists. Now, whenever you see a piece of written information on a video or photo, you don’t have to type it down. Just use TextSniper, and you will be able to copy it in seconds.
