Key Features
Select only the text you want
Green boxes are included, red boxes are excluded, and dashed regions mark lower-confidence OCR that may need review.
Edit, format, copy, and export
Selected regions flow into a document-style editor where the finished text can be shaped before leaving the app.
Desktop release updates
Packaged apps check GitHub Releases for newer versions and prompt users when a fresh installer is available.
"TrueText makes our office workflow so much easier. Instead of retyping information from scanned documents, I can quickly extract the text, clean it up, and copy it where it needs to go. It saves time and helps keep our documents organized."
