You know the frustration: you go to select some text on your Mac to copy and paste and it isn't selectable!
Picatext is a great little utility that allows you to capture text you never thought could be highlighted. Just select the area on screen that your want to capture and Picatext (using OCR) converts the text into selectable text, it's like magic.
You can extract text from images, too!
Check out this week's tip video to see it in action.

This is a sweet little applications. When doing customer support, I continually run into text that I cannot copy and paste - this will save me so much time!!!
Thanks
This is one of the most invaluable tools you've spoken of lately. This little app solves a lot of problems I frequently run in to. Thanks!
I went to check this app out on the App Store and it had some very mixed reviews. Love & Hate. But, given DON recommended it, I'm going to give it a try! I'll let you know if I have problems.
So far, works great. Thanks, Don! VERY useful.
This is just a brilliant find. Worth the entire year's subscription! Thanks!
More great finds like this, please! :)
