ZenOCR is a Mac app that reads screenshots, PDFs and handwriting and
gives back clean text or Markdown. The AI models run on your own
machine, so nothing is uploaded and there is no account. Free to
download, $12.99 once to unlock Pro. macOS 14 or later, Apple Silicon.


MEDIUM, 96 WORDS
------------------------------------------------------------

ZenOCR is an offline OCR app for the Mac. Press a shortcut, drag a box
around anything on screen, and the text is on your clipboard. Drop in a
PDF and you get clean Markdown back, tables and LaTeX equations
included. Two engines do the work: Apple Vision for instant everyday
text, and on-device models (GLM-OCR and DeepSeek-OCR) for handwriting,
maths and messy multi-column pages. Everything runs locally on Apple
Silicon, so confidential documents never leave the machine and there is
no cost per page. Free to download, $12.99 once for Pro. macOS 14 or
later.


LONG, 181 WORDS
------------------------------------------------------------

ZenOCR is an offline OCR app for macOS, built by a solo developer,
Taoo425. Press a shortcut and drag a box around anything on screen, and
the text lands on your clipboard. Drop in a PDF, a photo or a scan and
you get back clean Markdown, with tables and LaTeX equations intact. It
runs two engines. Fast mode uses Apple Vision and returns everyday text
instantly. AI mode runs on-device models, GLM-OCR and DeepSeek-OCR, on
the Neural Engine for the harder pages: handwriting, mathematics, multi-
column layouts, poor scans and low-contrast photos. Everything happens
on the machine. There is no account, no upload and no cloud service
behind the app, so confidential documents stay where they are and
nothing costs anything per page. It works the same with the network
switched off. Typical uses are handwritten notes, academic papers and
textbooks, receipts and forms, and screenshots of text that cannot be
selected. Results go straight to the clipboard, or save as Markdown or
plain text. Free to download, $12.99 once to unlock Pro. macOS 14 or
later, Apple Silicon. 11.6 MB.
