About

ReadSnap captures web pages and sends them to your Readwise Reader library — with optional OCR text extraction.

  HOW IT WORKS
  • Click "Full Page" to capture an entire scrollable page, stitched into a single image
  • Click "Select Area" to draw a rectangle and capture just that region
  • ReadSnap extracts text from the image using built-in OCR (powered by Tesseract.js)
  • The screenshot and extracted text are saved to Readwise Reader automatically

  FEATURES
  • Full-page capture with automatic scrolling and stitching
  • Area selection for capturing specific regions
  • Built-in OCR — no external services, everything runs locally in your browser
  • Supports English and Italian text recognition
  • Keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+Shift+S (full page), Ctrl+Shift+A (area select)
  • Configurable default tags for organizing your captures
  • Toggle image inclusion and OCR on/off independently

  SETUP
  1. Install the extension
  2. Open Settings and enter your Readwise access token (get it from readwise.io/access_token)
  3. Start capturing

  PRIVACY
  All OCR processing happens locally in your browser. No data is sent to third parties — only to your Readwise account using your personal API token
