Tutorial Description

Whilst working from his web browser this week, Lee was trying to capture some text from an image that wasn't playing ball…He then discovered a workaround that he wanted to share.

This led him to creating this short video covering Live Text on macOS and how you can use it to capture information. At the end of the video, Lee fires up Shortcuts and creates a simple shortcut that automates this process for you!

The feature shown here will work on a Mac with an M1 chip or newer running macOS 12 or later.

This video covers:

  • Live Text in Photos [00:00:42]
  • Capture Text with Preview [00:03:58]
  • Live Text with Quick Look [00:05:00]
  • Capture Text from Safari Images [00:05:36]
  • Creating a Text Extraction Shortcut [00:06:59]
