    Copy and reuse OCR resultswip

    After character recognition finishes, you can copy, search, quick-insert the text at your current cursor, or save the result as a new plain text clip to sync it across your connected devices.

    Workflow

    1
    Select text in preview panel

    Once text extraction completes, the preview panel presents selectable lines. You can drag your mouse (or slide on mobile screens) to select a range of characters, or double-click to select individual words.

    2
    Copy, insert, or save as card
    • Copy All: Click Copy All at the bottom to copy the entire extracted text block into your system clipboard.
    • Quick Insert: Click Quick Insert to paste the selected characters directly into the cursor position of your current active application.
    • Save as Text Card: Click Save as Text Card to instantly convert the OCR results into a standard text clip card in your history.
    3
    Verify and sync

    Success sign:

    1. If you chose Save as Text Card, return to the clipboard history and verify that a new text card containing the extracted words is listed.
    2. If sync is enabled, this newly created text card will sync to your other devices just like a normal text clip (via Nearby Sync or Cloud Sync).
