What is OnDevice OCR Pro?

Features:

  • Privacy by Design: Processing runs locally on your Mac; no data is collected or transmitted.

  • Apple Vision OCR: Uses the native Apple Vision framework for precise text recognition.

  • Folder Monitoring (Hotfolder): Monitors a specified folder and automatically processes newly added documents in the background.

  • Apple Shortcuts Support: Integrates seamlessly with the macOS Shortcuts app to create custom workflows and automations—also controllable via AI agents.

  • Extensive Language Support: Recognizes text in 13 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese (Traditional/Simplified), Japanese (Yokogaki), Korean, Vietnamese, Italian, Dutch, Turkish, and Russian.

  • Batch Processing: Effortlessly processes even large volumes of PDFs.

  • Smart Filter: Detects searchable digital PDFs—such as invoices—and skips them if desired.

  • Finder Extension: Allows you to process files directly from the macOS context menu (right-click)—even without opening the main application.

  • Automatic Orientation: Detects the text direction and automatically rotates incorrectly oriented pages.

  • Text Extraction: Allows you to export the recognized text as a plain text file (.txt).
