NormCap is a lightweight screenshot program for Windows that specializes in capturing text from images via Optical Character Recognition.
Instant
Once installed, users are able to select any part of the screen and instantly extract text from it. The process is intuitive, it is only necessary to launch the app, choose an area and let it convert the visual content into editable one. The method eliminates the need to retype information from photos and scanned documents, saving time and effort.
Unlike many OCR tools that require an internet connection, this one performs all recognition tasks locally. The offline functionality ensures sensitive information remains secure and avoids unnecessary data transmission. You can extract text from confidential screenshots. Moreover, if you have a safe file sharing tool, you may try LocalSend.
Output
Extracted text is automatically cleaned and formatted before being copied to the clipboard. The software intelligently removes line breaks, adjusts spacing and preserves sentence structure where appropriate. You are able to configure output styles or post-processing behavior to match your preferences. The result is a ready-to-use text snippet that can be pasted into docs, emails or code editors without additional cleanup.
