You select any rectangular region on screen, and CaptiOCR repeatedly screenshots that region, runs Tesseract OCR locally on each frame, and stitches the recognized text into a continuous transcript using a ROVER + TF-IDF novelty scoring pipeline that filters duplicates while preserving genuine new content. 🔒 Security & privacy : CaptiOCR runs entirely on your machine and does not transmit captures, screenshots, or logs to any server. It registers a global Ctrl+Q hotkey to stop capture (no other keystrokes are observed). User data lives under %LOCALAPPDATA%\\CaptiOCR (overridable via CAPTIOCR USER DATA ). Network access is limited to a hard-coded HTTPS allow-list (GitHub Releases for updates, the upstream Tesseract installer, and the official tessdata repository). See SECURITY.md and PRIVACY.md for the full disclosure and how to verify released artifacts (SHA256 + GitHub build provenance attestations). --- 💼 Why CaptiOCR?
