What is TextBoi?

TextBoi is a powerful AI writing assistant designed for both macOS and Windows, offering instant translation, grammar correction, and text improvement capabilities directly on your screen. Its standout feature is the built-in OCR (Optical Character Recognition), which allows it to read and process text from virtually any source, including images, screenshots, scanned PDFs, and even locked interfaces where traditional copy-pasting is impossible. Users can select text and activate the tool with a simple Cmd+C+C (or Ctrl+C+C) shortcut, or use Cmd+Shift+C for OCR capture, streamlining workflows and eliminating interruptions. TextBoi supports over 150 languages and integrates advanced AI models like GPT-4o-mini, GPT-4.1, and GPT-5 for accurate results. It also provides interactive dictionary lookups and smart revision insights with explanations for corrections.

FAQs

What makes TextBoi different from other writing tools?

TextBoi uniquely combines a one-shortcut workflow (Cmd+C+C) for inline text correction and translation with built-in OCR. This allows it to read and process text from images, screenshots, and locked interfaces, which other tools cannot do, eliminating the need for copy-pasting.

Can TextBoi read text from screenshots or images?

Yes, TextBoi's built-in OCR allows it to read text from screenshots, images, and scanned PDFs. By pressing Cmd+Shift+C (or Ctrl+Shift+C) and selecting an area, TextBoi extracts and processes the text instantly, even from apps where copy-paste is blocked.

How does the Cmd+C+C shortcut work?

Select any text, then double-press Cmd+C (or Ctrl+C on Windows) quickly. TextBoi detects this double-press and instantly translates or proofreads your selection. You can then press Cmd+Enter (or Ctrl+Enter) to replace the original text inline without leaving your current application.

Is TextBoi free to use?

Yes, TextBoi offers a Free plan that allows up to 150,000 characters per month using GPT-4o-mini. Paid plans unlock higher character limits, advanced AI models like GPT-4.1 and GPT-5, dictionary lookup, and detailed correction explanations.

Which operating systems and apps does TextBoi work with?

TextBoi is compatible with both macOS and Windows. It functions across virtually every desktop application, including browsers, email clients, document editors, Slack, and Figma, ensuring you're not limited to a single platform or editor.
