TextSnap - Copy Text from Video

About

ver wanted to copy text that's locked inside a video? A code snippet in a tutorial, a quote on a slide, a caption, a phone number, an address — text you can see but can't select. TextSnap fixes that.

Pause the video, click the TextSnap button, and it recognizes the on-screen text so you can select and copy it like any normal text. No more pausing-and-retyping or squinting at your screen.

HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

1. Pause any video.
2. Click the "Copy" button that appears (or press Alt+S).
3. TextSnap recognizes the text and lays it over the frame.
4. Click a line to copy it — or select several and copy them all at once.

That's it. The text is on your clipboard, ready to paste anywhere.
