What's new in Screenotate 3 for macOS

  • "Take screenshot and copy text" key shortcut: Immediately copies the recognized text to your clipboard so you can paste it elsewhere.
  • Multilanguage support: you can now recognize text in 100+ languages! You can download new languages in Screenotate's Preferences.
  • Radically faster and more reliable search: Search now happens basically in real time as you type each character. The search engine has been completely rewritten to use a custom index instead of Mac Spotlight, so you can now search for exact phrases in quotes, use Boolean operators, and much more.
  • Improved support for macOS 11 Big Sur and macOS 10.15 Catalina: fixed problems with licensing and fixed problems with system permissions (which sometimes blocked Screenotate from recording the screen and grabbing contextual info from other apps). Dropped support for OS X 10.9 Mavericks and OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
  • Bug fixes:
    • Fixed bug on newer versions of macOS where screenshots would sometimes not appear in the Screenotate menu after being taken.
    • You can now drag multiple screenshots in a row into a chat (or other target) without the newest drag overwriting all the old ones.
    • The background of the Screenotate menu shouldn't glitch anymore.
    • Dragging screenshots now drags them roughly from the mouse point instead of from the center, so they won't clip off the top of your screen (and the drag feels more seamless).
  • Performance improvements: Scrolling through the search pane is much more responsive. Screenotate doesn't take as much memory if you have a lot of screenshots in your menu.
  • URLs are now recognized from Firefox windows as well as Safari and Chrome.
