How To Capture Any Text From Your Screen On Mac, iPhone or iPad 

Live Text is one of the coolest features of MacOS, and you just made it easier; thanks!

Thanks very much, Gary, for this informative video. Some very useful hints on text copying.

I use this function, but not all the nuances. So many little bits I was missing. Thanks Gary, more great tips. I also didn't realise if I clicked on the floating thumbnail I could work from there, I was always waiting for it to save.

Thanks for another great video, Gary! Even though I knew about copying text, I watched it anyway, because I was sure I would learn something new-which I did. I never even noticed the delete icon, and also learned a few new things about the screen capture. This is going to save me a bunch of time. Thanks again!

you got a new subscriber so i got a macbook and i don’t know how it works

Great video Gary.... always providing info that we need. I just wanted to mention that I was trying select text from the system report. Apple, for some reason, has never allowed that. (The text version in the system report is not in spreadsheet format.) After taking a screen shot of the section that I wanted I was still having trouble getting all the text to drop into the proper column format that makes it easy to read. So I changed the brightness and got rid of the grey section on every other line and BINGO... I was home free. As a sage RU-vidr says: "Hope this helps "....(someone.)

💙 Once again you have. Tight me something I was unaware of! Thank you! ❤ every time I think I don’t need to watch one of your videos, YOU prove me wrong and ignorant. 👍🏽😎 AWESOME! 👏🏼 🙏🏻

Very useful tutorial.

Hi Gary, as always a helpful and informative video. I have been watching your videos on our smart TV and can’t say thanks when watching that way, so - thank you for the last few weeks of tutorials including the new Sequoia ones. Please don’t ever retire……ll.

Hi Gary. Many thanks for all your great and informative videos. I know you always use the most recent Mac OS, but it would help if you let us know what OS version is used in each video. Thanks again.

Erected in honor of the legendary quick brown fox, this monument commemorates the nimble creature known for its unparalleled agility and the role it played in linguistic history. On a crisp autumn morning, as dawn broke over the quiet village, the fox darted through the leaping over the lazy dog.fields, Its speed and cunning I became the subject of folklore, writers and typographers for generations inspiring to come The phrase "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" has become a staple in the world of typography, containing every letter of the English alphabet and serving as a vital tool for testing fonts and keyboards. This seemingly simple sentence encapsulates the elegance and efficiency of language, much like the fox's graceful movements are reminded of the power of words and the creatures the fox suer c me entere the countryside.

I found this very helpful. Thank you for sharing..❤️🇨🇦

Very cool! Thank you!!

Hi, Gary! Thanks for the valuable info! However, I went into my Applications folder and could NOT find "Live Text". Where is it hidden?

Great tutorial, Gary! Thank you!

Copy that!

Haha I usually just screenshot, open in the preview, select the text and translate. One of the games I'm playing involving people communicating in Russian. I have to do that just to understand what they are saying. I just wish Apple will finally allow us to right away airdrop the screenshot to other devices without digging through so many steps.

I just now had to do that with some Kanji characters. Very useful tip.

Gary, could I suggest a tutorial or video on how to use Hide my Mail? This feature is very confusing.

nice tips always . is the mac shortcut for text capture not working anymore ?

Sometime when I'm watching RU-vids I will click on the thumbnail of the video and it selects the type. Is there a way to turn this feature on and off?

...but why delete the screenshot immediately after copying the text and why not delete it after the copied text is pasted elsewhere? 2 - Does the text capture work with all languages or only with English alphabets?

How To Copy Any Text From Your Screen Shot MY WAY: 1. Open the Screen Shot in Preview 2. Go Tools and choose Text Selection 3. And now you CAN select, copy and paste the text

Must be a feature that came after MacOS 12.75 cause I cannot do it.

Very useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary! 👏🏻❤️
