![]() ![]() TextSniper is available from the developer’s website at $10, or $5 during the launch promo period. For me, this makes it a no-brainer for any Mac user who ever needs to transcribe text, even occasionally (so long as you are running macOS Catalina). It is strongly recommended that an ODB-compliant editor is used with MacSpice. TextSniper has a one-off cost of $10, currently reduced to $5 as a launch promo. TextWrangler was an all-purpose text and code editor for macOS. There may be pros and cons with the product itself, and there may be a need to balance price against value. ![]() Sometimes my review conclusion needs some thought. If you want an ultra-high speed, 100 automated solution that you can script from any programming language or schedule to process your website overnight, then you need TextPipe, not TextWrangler. It’s been as close to perfect as any OCR system I’ve ever used, and able to cope with a massive range of formats. TextPipe is a fully-featured application that extends all the basic functions offered by TextWrangler. (Incidentally, if you’re an Andrew Scott fan, as I am, you can stream the play online.) Here’s a rare example of an error - omitting the colon in the first line:īut it still managed to read white-outline all-caps text on a colored background. It didn’t seem to matter what I threw at it, it always coped: BBEdit 14.6 requires macOS 10.15.4 or later. Here are some examples of its performance with trickier graphics. TextWrangler is not compatible with macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) or later, and will not run on macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later. In my initial use, despite going out of my way to find difficult examples for it, it’s been almost perfect. The really impressive thing to me is the combination of speed and accuracy. Here you can see the graphic and the captured text side-by-side. That statement took the form of a graphic.Īpple statement on terminating Epic’s developer account: “We won’t make an exception” /3a3L6meHfI Performanceįor example, when Apple announced that it would be terminating Epic Games’ developer account, Mark Gurman tweeted a statement from Apple. TextSnipe displays a brief thumbs-up icon and the words “Copied to clipboard.” Click into your document and CMD-V in the usual way, and the OCR’d text is pasted. Hit this combination, select the area of the screen you want to read, and… that’s it. ![]() The only visible sign you get is a small menu bar icon, but you now have a new screengrab option: Shift-CMD-2. What TextSniper does is allow you to select any words visible on your screen, no matter what its format, and to turn it into text, you can paste into any document. Company statements on Twitter are a common example, where they get around the character limit by posting an image of the statement…Ĭurrently, I read it aloud, using Siri dictation to automatically type the text, but it’s a clunky solution. One of the more annoying aspects of my work is when I need to quote some text that is provided in graphic form. Using it is as easy as taking a screengrab and then pasting. It takes text in a graphic or non-selectable PDF and turns it into actual text using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). TextSniper is a new Mac app I wish I’d had years ago. ![]()
