    Can batch capture automatically create screenshots at multiple preset sizes in one click?

    1. AnonymousMaker

      Yes! Just select the app you want screenshots of in the menu list, add all the sizes you need, a ratio and click "Capture [Name of App]". If you have enabled templates, that template will be applied automatically to all sizes as well.

    Can the OCR text in screenshots and PDFs be searched or copied after processing?

    1. AnonymousMaker

      This is OCR capture, meaning you can copy text from any source on the screen and then paste anywhere else. I guess you are referring to search and find in a "photo of text"? That is not yet included, but a good idea. I will implement that. You can obviously search in PDF's already, as long as it's text and not an image of text. Hope that helps.
