We all know OCR is good for scanning documents, but are you using it to its full potential? Here are 5 productivity hacks using screenshot-to-text technology that will save you hours.
1. Coding Tutorials
Watching a coding tutorial on YouTube? Don't switch tabs to type out the code manually. Screenshot the code block, extract the text, and paste it into your IDE. (Just checking for typos!).
2. Capturing Meeting Slides
In a Zoom call or presentation? Don't scribble notes frantically. Screenshot the slide, extract the bullet points, and paste them directly into your Notion or OneNote.
3. Error Messages
IT support often asks for the exact error message. Instead of typing "End of file error at line 304...", just snap it and extract it. Accuracy helps solve bugs faster.
4. Book Excerpts
Reading a Kindle book or a physical book? Snap a photo of a quote you love and digitize it instantly for your "Second Brain" or reading log.
5. Translating Menus
Traveling? Snap a picture of a menu in a foreign language, extract the text, and drop it into a translator if your camera app doesn't do it automatically.
Start Saving Time
The seconds you spend retyping add up to hours over a year. Keep a tab open with Screenshot Clean and make text extraction a habit.
