01
Verify every recognized line against the source
Keep the scanned page and selectable OCR result together, then check the character count and copy or save the text without switching views.
OCR StudioCapture & Codes
Turn screenshots, scans, and image-only PDFs into usable text.
OCR Studio keeps the original page beside the recognized result so you can verify the text instead of trusting a black box. Add images or scanned PDFs, capture an unselectable screen region, choose Accurate or Fast recognition and language handling, then copy the result, save one file per source, combine a batch, or create a searchable PDF - all locally on your Mac.

Foldout reads user-supplied images and scanned PDFs locally. It does not generate synthetic people, voices, likenesses, or media from prompts. Use Foldout only with files and content you own or have permission to process.
What it does
Recognize, verify, copy, and export text from images, screen regions, and scanned PDFs.
Compare the source and recognized text side by side before using the result.
Capture text directly from any screen region when copy and paste is unavailable.
Choose Accurate or Fast recognition, language handling, correction, and page-break behavior.
Process several images or PDF pages and keep each source tied to its result.
Copy all text, save per file, combine the batch, or add a searchable layer to a scanned PDF.
Recognition runs locally on the Mac without uploading the source.
From pixels to usable text
Capture the source and verify every recognized line.
The image, OCR result, screen-capture path, and copy or export actions remain visible as one workflow.
02
Capture text that cannot be selected
Start a screen-region capture, then keep its local recognition status, Accurate or Fast mode, language handling, correction, and source row together.
03
Choose the output the next step needs
Copy everything, save one text file per source, combine a batch, or place an invisible searchable layer over the original scan.
Why it belongs
Why OCR Studio earns a place in the toolbox.
The practical details that make this job faster, clearer, or safer than doing it by hand.
Source and text stay together
The selected image or page remains visible above its selectable OCR output, character count, Copy, and Save controls for quick verification.
Screen-region OCR
Capture content from an app, video, document viewer, or remote desktop when the original text cannot be selected.
Recognition controls that match the source
Switch between Accurate and Fast recognition, choose a language, correct likely codes or serials, force OCR over embedded PDF text, and preserve page breaks.
Searchable PDFs and batch export
Copy everything, save one text file per source, combine recognized text, or write a searchable text layer over the original scanned PDF.

Questions
Before you try OCR Studio
Does OCR Studio upload my files?
No. Recognition runs locally in Foldout on your Mac.
Can it read a scanned PDF?
Yes. It can recognize image-only pages, preserve page breaks, export the text, or create a searchable PDF layer.
Can I capture text directly from the screen?
Yes. Capture a screen region from OCR Studio and run recognition on that capture immediately.
Can I process more than one source?
Yes. Add several images or PDFs, review each result, then save per file or combine the recognized text.
