Download of TextScanner 1.6 for Mac was available from the developer's website when we last checked. We cannot confirm if there is a free download of this app available. This free Mac application was originally developed by Govarthani Rajesh. Please check the Mac app with an antivirus before launch as it is downloaded from the developer's website, and we cannot ensure that it is safe. The application is included in System Tools.
From the developer:
Text Scanner is an OCR-based application that can recognize any text from an image with 98% to 100% accuracy. Consequently, you will be able to extract any text or words from the scanned image. You can edit and share the OCR result. Also, you get translations in over 100 languages.
