One unusually useful transformation
Image in. Editable text out.
No document system to learn. No cloud workspace to manage. Just the shortest path from words you can see to words you can use.
The whole workflow
Finished before the workaround would have started.
Unlock every word
Apple-native recognition reads the whole image on your device and preserves natural reading order in one clean document.
Edit, copy, share
Fix anything, copy everything, or send the result anywhere. No account, upload, or cleanup ritual required.
Private by design
Your screenshot is not our business.
Recognition happens on your iPhone or iPad using Apple frameworks. Text Unlocked does not upload your images or recognized text, create an account, run ads, or include a third-party analytics SDK.
