Find words and phrases you can see in apps, PDFs, and images. Extract text from a selected area. GlanceFind works locally and keeps no capture history.
Microsoft Store release in preparation
Press Ctrl + Alt + F to search visible text on a frozen capture. Move between highlighted matches with Enter.
Press Ctrl + Alt + T, drag a region, then review and edit the recognized text before copying or saving it.
Capture and OCR happen on your Windows device. There is no account, cloud OCR, automatic file saving, or screenshot history.
GlanceFind captures one monitor when you request it. It recognizes the text visible at that moment, including readable text inside images, and searches those results without capturing again for every query. Refresh when the screen changes.
It cannot search hidden content, scroll through a document, or follow moving text live. Accuracy depends on the selected Windows OCR language and image quality.
