OwlOCR

OwlOCR turns screenshots, images, scans, and PDFs into text you can copy, edit, export, and search.

OwlOCR 7 adds optional local AI OCR for the tough cases: messy screenshots, low-quality scans, dense layouts, and documents where Apple's built-in OCR needs another pass. Apple Vision remains available for fast on-device OCR with text boxes and searchable PDF export, while OCR AI runs a downloaded model on your Mac and returns clean page text.

Everything runs on-device. Your documents are not sent to an online AI service by OwlOCR.

Features:
- Grab any screen area and copy recognized text to the clipboard
- Open images and PDFs for page-by-page text recognition
- Automatically detect and rotate sideways or upside-down pages
- Export searchable PDFs with an invisible OCR text layer
- Use OCR AI locally for harder screenshots, scans, and layouts
- Scan barcodes and QR codes, then open links automatically
- Create searchable PDFs, text files, or clipboard text from Finder Quick Actions
- Capture multiple screenshots in one workflow
- Apply custom OCR words and post-processing rules
- Integrate OCR into automation with the OwlOCR command line tool
- Choose menu bar or Dock app behavior
- Dark Mode support and configurable keyboard shortcuts

Pro features include batch OCR for multipage PDFs and multiple documents, Finder Quick Actions on multiple files, higher multi-screenshot limits, post-processing rules, command line integrations, and OCR AI.
