Letra

Letra lets you copy the uncopyable. It is a menu-bar app for macOS.

Press ⌘⇧2, drag over anything on screen, and the text is already on your clipboard. It reads videos, PDFs, screenshots, slides, and Zoom or Meet shares. Recognition runs on your Mac with Apple’s on device Vision framework, so captures never leave the machine and it works offline.

Also included:

• QR codes and barcodes, with links that can open automatically
• 20+ languages, with auto-detect, plus neat handwriting
• Clipboard images, and PNG, JPEG, and PDF files
• Searchable history that stays on your Mac
• Global shortcut, URL scheme, and Raycast and Alfred support
• Accurate or fast mode, optional line breaks, launch at login
