Clipboard AI reads the words inside screenshots, receipts, and photos with on-device OCR. Copy all the text with one tap, or select just the line you need, like a code, a price, or an address. The extracted text stays in your clipboard history, and your images become searchable by the words inside them.
Get the image into Clipboard AI - copy it, share it, or screenshot it - and open it from your history. The words inside are read on your device, ready to copy in full or in part, and ready to paste anywhere.
Once Clipboard AI has read an image, the words inside it become part of your searchable history. Type "boarding" or "KX7Q2N" weeks later and the screenshot surfaces, even if you never copied the text out of it.
Apple's Live Text is genuinely good, and for a one-off copy it is the fastest tool. The difference is what happens after: Live Text copies text once and forgets it. Clipboard AI treats extracted text like any other clip - kept, named, synced, and searchable.
Save the picture into Clipboard AI, then open it from your history. On-device OCR reads the words inside it so you can copy all the text with one tap, or select just the part you need, like a code, a price, or an address. The extracted text stays in your clipboard history, ready to paste anywhere.
Yes. Screenshots, receipts, photos of documents, whiteboards, boarding passes - anything with readable text. If the words are visible in the image, Clipboard AI can usually pull them out.
Yes. You do not have to take everything. Select only the fragment you need, like one line of an address or a single confirmation code, and Clipboard AI saves just that part as its own clip.
Yes. Once Clipboard AI has read an image, the words inside it become searchable. Type any word from a screenshot into search and the screenshot itself surfaces, even weeks later.
Live Text is great for one-off copies, but it copies text once and forgets it. Clipboard AI keeps the extracted text in your clipboard history, lets you save just a fragment, syncs it across your devices, and makes your images searchable by the words inside them.
Yes. Text recognition runs entirely on your device, like every other Clipboard AI feature. Your images and the text inside them are never uploaded to our servers, and optional sync travels through your own private iCloud.
