ICU OCR: Intelligent Capture Utility

About

Whether it’s a screenshot, diagram, scanned page, or even a meme, ICU OCR extracts text/ ideas and magically sends them to your favorite app — if you so choose. 

Requests for new integrations are most welcome!

✨ Why ICU OCR?

Most OCR tools stop at raw text. ICU OCR is built for real workflows: it combines modern OCR with top AI models (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, Grok) to not only read text, but also understand, format, and route it to your favorite apps.

🚀 KEY FEATURES

▪  FREE FOREVER: Plug in your own LLM API keys and you're good to go!

▪  Multiple Capture Methods: Right-click any image, drag & drop with Alt/Option, or paste from your clipboard. ICU OCR adapts to your flow.

▪  Drop Zones: Configure reusable workflows with custom prompts. Extract as JSON, summarize, translate, generate alt-text, or just keep it verbatim.

▪  Integrations: Send results straight to Workflowy or Notion. More apps are on the way.

▪  Choose Your AI: Switch between OpenAI (gpt-4o-mini), Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, and Grok Vision. 

▪  History & Clipboard Manager: Every capture is logged with source, provider, and timestamp. Copy back, manage, or clear history in one click.

▪  Privacy First: All keys and history are stored locally on your device. Nothing is ever tracked or shared.

🤗 WHO IT’S FOR

▪  Researchers and students extracting tables, references, and notes.

▪  Knowledge workers capturing diagrams, slides, etc. into structured outlines.

▪  Productivity geeks who live in Workflowy, Notion, or both.

▪  Anyone tired of copy-paste gymnastics when moving text from images.
