CyberSnap includes multilingual OCR (Optical Character Recognition) powered by Tesseract, with integrated translation support. Extract text from any image and translate it to your preferred language.
- Trigger OCR capture (via hotkey or widget)
- Select the region containing text
- CyberSnap processes the image through Tesseract
- Extracted text is displayed in the OCR Result window
- Copy, search, or translate the text
CyberSnap supports OCR in all languages available in Tesseract, including but not limited to:
- English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese
- Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean
- Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Dutch, Polish, Swedish
- And many more
Language auto-detection: CyberSnap automatically selects the OCR language based on your Windows display language. You can also manually specify the language in settings.
After recognition, the OCR Result window displays:
- Extracted text in an editable text box
- Confidence score for the recognition
- Detected language
- Options to copy, translate, or search
CyberSnap supports two translation services:
