Extract text from screenshots on Mac
Use MellowKit OCR to extract text from Mac screenshots and images. Prepare readable input, review recognized text against the image, and check private details before sharing.
1. Start with a clear image of the text
Capture at the original display scale where possible. Avoid repeated compression or shrinking text too far. Select the relevant area so decorative backgrounds and unrelated content do not get in the way.
2. Run OCR and compare the result with the image
Use text recognition in MellowKit and compare the recognized text with its location in the image. Check names, numbers, punctuation and line breaks carefully. Low resolution, decorative fonts and complex layouts can produce mistakes.
3. Organize the text before copying it
Move the text you need into your document or message. For repeated work, combine image resizing, styling and text extraction in a workflow. Put OCR after image edits so later image operations are not applied to a text result.
4. Review private details before sharing
Local processing does not mean every recognized detail is ready to share. Check account information, contact details and internal material. Sensitive-content suggestions help you find details; they still need your review.
