- For
- Mac users copying text from unselectable on-screen content
- Worth noticing
- The page says table selections can be pasted into spreadsheet cells or copied as CSV or Markdown.
Field notes
The page specifies macOS 14 Sonoma or later and shows a menu-bar history with recent captures labeled by source app. It says history keeps text only and can be turned off. For translation, the page names macOS 15 or later and Apple’s on-device translation; these are product claims rather than independently verified behavior. Guides cover use cases including Zoom screen shares, scanned PDFs, and copying tables into Excel.
