Condense overview

Condense has been developed while studying computer science because the unnecessary step of 'booting' up an OCR suite every time then load presentation just to extract half a page from the middle of the document. Research was done against many OCR solutions on the market and each of them was bulky to use and failed in one discipline: Quick and elegant extraction. Condense wants to fix this gap. It removes all the clutter and lets you extract text from anywhere on your screen, directly into your clipboard.

Sad to see this app is "dead and gone," as others have noted. WARNING, WILL ROBINSON: The developer URL redirects to a web site that tries to install a browser plugin under the guise of a security update. The link should probably be removed.

Looks like this wonderful app is dead and gone: no more website, can't find it at the App Store... :-(

Condense is so helpful! Dear developers, please update Condense at least for Mojave.

BEST EVER!! I use this ALL of the time. Nothing more to say. Best $ ever spent. Like Aargl, I tried out all similar apps... This won hands down. I often use it to copy text from pdfs, especially when using Preview's cut and copy doesn't work so well. Use it on scans, etc.

Only after purchasing it did I learn that this will only use OCR to convert one page to a searchable form - to do more that that you'd need to upgrade to the Enterprise Edition. In the 1-line subheading it does say that it's for medium-sized texts, but one page is not medium-sized, it's small. Since this is false advertising, I'm only able to give it 2 stars.
