- Mac users copying text from unselectable screen content
- Worth noticing
- Capture history keeps the last 50 results as text, not screenshots, and can be turned off.
Field notes
The workflow starts with a keyboard shortcut and a draggable selection, then offers a word-count notification and optional review before copying. The page says the searchable history holds the last 50 captures as text rather than images, and can be turned off. Translation is described as using Apple Translation, with language downloads required once; the page notes that some listed languages depend on newer macOS versions.
