Summary

As a developer you don't always find code in text format, quite often it's a:

  • Video format - youtube / pluralsight tutorial.
  • Image format - from lazy friends or lazy bloggers.

In every instance you need to write it down character by character. But not with Textocry!

Using Textocry you can select the area/image with the text and let TesseractJS extract the text for you, load it into your Clipboard and you can paste it anywhere!

Textocry can extract any text, it's not meant just for code.

Example usage can be seen in the video above.
