Viz
Capture text/QR Codes/Barcodes/Colors from screen snippets
Viz is a native macOS utility designed to extract useful information from selected areas of the screen. It uses Apple's Vision framework to recognize text in images, videos, and other displayed content. Users can also capture QR codes, barcodes, and colors through a screen-snipping interface. Recognition accuracy and processing speed can be adjusted according to individual requirements. Extracted text is automatically copied to the clipboard and optionally displayed in a floating window. Custom shell commands can process captured text using an OCR placeholder variable. The application maintains a persistent capture history with optional iCloud Drive synchronization. Additional settings include customizable keyboard shortcuts, text formatting, and automatic startup. Development is currently on hold, with version 2.3.3 listed in the repository.
