Imagine you have a PDF file or a Web page where you can\u0027t select the text, image with text on it, or even a YouTube video. Forget retyping it manually; with TRex, you can extract text from anywhere, and it is as easy as taking a screenshot.\n\nTRex lives in the menu bar and available right where you need it the most:\n\n![TRex](https://github.com/amebalabs/TRex/blob/main/Resources/screenshot.png)\n\nTo use TRex:\n1. Invoke \"Capture\" either through the menu bar or with a global configurable shortcut\n2. Select an area of the screen you want to extract text from, just like taking a screenshot\n3. There is no third step - **extracted text is in your clipboard**\n\nDemo:\n\n![Demo](Resources/demo.gif)\n\nPlease note, text editing application on the right is not part of TRex, this is [Tot](https://tot.rocks). \nTRex is designed to be invisible and doesn\u0027t have any UI beyond the menu bar app and preferences. \n\n## Use cases\nTRex can help you to copy text from:\n- A PDF with non-selectable text\n- A screenshot\n- YouTube video\n- Zoom call screen sharing\n- ... and more!\n\nIf you can see it on your screen - TRex can copy it.\n\n## How to get TRex\n### App Store\nBuy TRex from the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/trex-easy-ocr/id1554515538)\n\n### GitHub\nDownload from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/amebalabs/TRex/releases/latest)\n\n### Homebrew\nInstall from",
