Text-Grab is a Windows desktop application for capturing and extracting text from screen regions, images, PDFs, and barcodes using on-device OCR (Windows OCR, Tesseract, Windows AI) and UI Automation. It provides multiple capture modes (fullscreen grab, grab frame, edit text window, quick lookup) and offers post-capture features like text editing, table analysis, unit conversion, expression evaluation, template-based extraction, text-to-speech, and clipboard integration. The application is privacy-focused as all processing runs locally. It is built as a monolithic WPF application using .NET 10 and WindowsAppSDK, with extensive unit and UI automation test coverage. The codebase is well-structured with reusable utility classes and custom controls, though some files (e.g., EditTextWindow) are very large and tightly coupled. The repository is actively maintained with recent commits, CI/CD pipelines, and dependabot integration.
