Text Grab is a Windows OCR utility that extracts text from screenshots, images, PDFs, videos, and applications where text cannot be selected normally. It processes recognition locally without uploading content to cloud services. Users can capture selected screen regions or recognize text from supported files. An integrated editor provides text cleanup, searching, replacement, and formatting tools. Regular expressions help identify and extract structured information such as dates, emails, and identifiers. Reusable templates combine designated capture regions with extraction patterns. Bulk processing supports entire image and PDF folders. Spreadsheet mode helps organize recognized information into tables, while a calculation pane handles numerical content. Global shortcuts and command-line options simplify repeated OCR workflows.
