Reads what it captures

A screen recorder that understands what it captured

Where it helps

Every screenshot becomes searchable text

On-device OCR (text recognition) reads the words inside a screenshot as soon as you take it. A build number, an error message or a line of settings becomes text you can search later. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Callouts renumber themselves as you work

Add numbered markers to a screenshot to show a sequence. If you move one or add a new one in the middle, the other numbers update on their own, so you never renumber by hand.

Passwords and tokens blur themselves out

Automatic blurring of passwords and tokens hides them the moment a screenshot is taken. It is a strong best-effort safeguard, not a guarantee, so a quick look before sharing is still worth it.

Smart Rule controls what managed machines capture

Smart Rule is an admin-only mode for managed machines. An administrator turns it on and sets a retention window, which is how long captures are kept. Screenshots, single or in a burst, always have auto-blur applied. Video clips are the one exception: they are stored un-blurred and clearly labelled. Everything goes into an encrypted, append-only vault and is kept only for the retention window the admin chose.

The CaptureXRec image editor with a screenshot's text extracted on-device and numbered callouts arranged around it.

The editor pulls text out of a screenshot on-device and keeps numbered callouts in order as you rearrange them.

How it works

01

Capture the screen

Take a screenshot or a scrolling capture as usual, from the floating widget.

02

The words inside it become text

On-device OCR reads the text in the image as soon as it is captured, without sending anything to a server.

Mark it up with callouts that number themselves

Add numbered callouts to point at what matters. Insert or move one and the rest renumber automatically.

04

Find it again by the words inside the picture

Search the library later using the exact text OCR pulled out of the image, not just a filename or a date.

Questions

What does 'smart' actually mean here?

It means the app understands what it captures. OCR makes the text inside a screenshot searchable, and callouts renumber themselves as you place them. None of it needs a server.

Does the OCR send my screenshots to a server?

No. OCR runs entirely on your own computer, and the image never leaves it.

Can I rely on the automatic blurring to hide anything sensitive?

Treat it as a strong best-effort safeguard, not a guarantee. Automatic blurring of passwords and tokens catches most of what it is built to catch, but look at the image before sharing anything sensitive.

What is Smart Rule, and who can turn it on?

Smart Rule is an admin-only feature for managed Windows machines — an administrator enables it, sets a retention window, and enforced auto-blur applies to whatever it records.

Is Smart Rule the same as normal screen recording?

No — a rule fires on a trigger you define, forced auto-blur applies to every still it captures, and the output goes to the vault under a retention class instead of the normal library.
