LudyLens

LudyLens makes it effortless to grab text from anywhere on your Mac. See text you can't select - in a video, image, slide deck, or locked PDF? Just press your shortcut, drag a lasso around it, and LudyLens turns it into editable text in your clipboard. No export. No uploads. No friction.
How it works:

• 1. Press your global shortcut
• 2. Lasso the area on screen that contains the text
• 3. LudyLens runs fast, on-device OCR
• 4. Your text is ready to paste and saved in your capture history

It feels just like taking a screenshot - but you get text instead of an image.
Key Features:

• - Quick Lasso Capture with customizable global shortcuts
• - Code Mode that preserves indentation and formatting for developers
• - QR code and barcode scanning directly from screen
• - 20+ language OCR support with auto-detection
• - Capture history with search, thumbnails, and export
• - Import from iPhone via Continuity Camera
• - 100% on-device processing using Apple Vision - nothing leaves your Mac

What's New in v1.6.9:

• - Added 10 new UI languages for broader international support
• - Improved documentation for Vision OCR language recognition limits
• - Stability and performance improvements

LudyLens is built for speed and privacy. All text recognition runs locally on your Mac using Apple Vision framework. No data is ever uploaded to any server. No account creation required. No subscription - one-time purchase, lifetime license.
Whether you are a developer copying code from a tutorial video, a student extracting text from lecture slides, or a professional pulling data from screenshots, LudyLens saves you time every day.
System Requirements: macOS 15.0 (Sequoia) or later
