OCR That Speaks 109 Languages
Extract text from screenshots in any language. From Korean and Japanese to Arabic and Hindi, SnapStash AI reads it all with native-level accuracy.
Breaking Language Barriers in Screenshot Management
In a connected world, your screenshots contain text in multiple languages. A research paper in English, a chat conversation in Korean, a product listing in Japanese, a social media post in Spanish. SnapStash AI's multi-language OCR handles all of these seamlessly, powered by PaddleOCR's support for 109 languages.
The OCR engine automatically detects the language in each screenshot without requiring manual selection. It even handles mixed-language content within a single image, such as a Korean document with English technical terms or a bilingual website. Each language is processed with its own optimized recognition model for maximum accuracy.
Complex scripts that challenge many OCR systems are handled with ease. Right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew, character-based languages like Chinese and Japanese, and scripts with complex ligatures like Devanagari and Thai are all supported with high accuracy. The system understands the unique typographic rules of each writing system.
Multi-language support extends beyond just OCR extraction. The AI categorization, tagging, and summarization also work across languages. A screenshot in Korean gets Korean tags and a Korean summary. The RAG chatbot can be queried in any supported language, and it will search across your entire multilingual screenshot collection.

Optimized Language Models
Each detected language activates its specialized OCR model, ensuring characters, diacritics, and script-specific features are recognized accurately.
Multilingual Search Ready
