Image to Text

Umbra's Image to Text tool pulls text out of a screenshot, photo, or scan using a bundled AI model that runs entirely on your machine — the image never leaves it, not even for this.

Drop an image anywhere in the window, or paste one with ⌘V, and Umbra recognizes and extracts its text — selectable directly on the image, or copied as plain text in one action. If nothing readable is found, it says so plainly.

FAQ

• Why not use a free online OCR tool?

  An online OCR tool means uploading your image — screenshots and photos often contain exactly what you'd least want on a stranger's server. Umbra's model is bundled with the app; nothing is uploaded, even for this.

• Is this the AI feature the site mentions?

  Yes — the only one that ships today: a local OCR model with no network call involved.

• Can I select the text directly on a screenshot, not just copy a text dump?

  Yes — recognized text stays selectable right on top of the image itself, and you can search within it with match navigation, rather than working from a separate plain-text box that's lost its layout.
