TextGrabber2

TextGrabber2 is a free and open-source menu bar app that efficiently detects text from copied images. This eliminates the need to save images as files and then delete them solely for the purpose of text detection:

• TextGrabber2 is NOT a screenshot tool, meaning it doesn't require access like Screen Recording or Accessibility. It relies on the keyboard shortcuts you use daily.
• TextGrabber2 utilizes the built-in Vision framework, which is on-device, secure, fast, accurate, and free. In fact, it's often superior to many paid services.
• TextGrabber2 connects to system services, you can easily integrate your workflows.
• TextGrabber2 does NOT have any settings; it works magically until something goes wrong.
• It's simple, privacy-oriented, brutal and beautiful.

For example, press Control-Shift-Command-4 to capture a portion of the screen and then open TextGrabber2 from the menu bar.
