To view what is inside this file, you need a zip tool to unzip it (downloaded file). When you download Setapp from the website, it is downloaded as a ZIP (.zip) file. However, if you go that route, you do not get a 7-day trial. Alternatively, you can directly get TextSniper from the App Store. To get started, head over to Setapp’s website and download Setapp on your Mac. As soon as you do that, the app automatically captures the selected text and saves it to the clipboard, which you can then paste wherever you want. Talking about its working, TextSniper requires you to press a hotkey (keyboard shortcut) to trigger the utility, after which it gives you a crosshair to select the text in any visual document. TextSniper also got featured on ProductHunt - a product discovery platform - and made it to their product of the day list. It is part of Setapp: a subscription-based service from MacPaw that includes a host of utilities for iOS and macOS applications like Ulysses, Newton, CleanMyMac X, CleanShot X, Keysmith, Remote Mouse, AnyTrans, and more. You can use it to extract text from images, videos, and other visual document types such as PDFs, presentations, screencasts, screenshots, webpages, etc. TextSniper is a text recognition (OCR – Optical Character Recognition) utility that lets you capture unselectable text.

What is TextSniper, and how does it work? # While there are several options out there, if you are a Mac user and want a minimal and easy-to-use utility, you can use TextSniper to capture text from images or other visual documents. As a result, if you work with media or often find the need to copy the text in images or some other documents, you have to look at third-party OCR apps that provide such a functionality.
