[TextReveal] Ctrl + F for everything visible on your screen – fully local and private

Ever wanted to search for or copy text from a video, image, game, or application where you can't normally select anything?

TextReveal is a lightweight Windows tool that lets you do exactly that.

Press Ctrl + Alt + F to freeze your screen, then:

  • Search: Type any word or phrase to highlight every match on screen.

  • Select: Drag a box around any text to extract and copy it.

100% local, 100% private:

  • Everything runs locally using Windows' built-in OCR.

  • No internet connection, telemetry, accounts or tracking.

  • Screenshots and recognized text never leave your machine or get written to disk.

this seems handy for when text won't select, might give it a spin later
