Made for moments
you’d rather not retype.
Calls, scans, screenshots, video, QR codes, stickers and neat handwriting. If you can see it, Letra can copy it.
Someone shares a link on a call and never drops it in the chat. Grab it off their screen and open it yourself.
A scanned contract won’t let you select a single word. Letra reads the clause anyway and drops it into your notes.
Dana KimA teammate posts a screenshot of an error. Copy the stack trace out of the image and search for it in seconds.
Pause a video course, drag over the code, and paste it straight into your editor. No squinting, no typos.
There’s a QR code on the slide and your phone is in your bag. Letra decodes it on your Mac and opens the link.
The Wi-Fi password is in a photo of the router sticker. Drag over it, then paste it into the password prompt.
Sticky notes, whiteboards, recipe cards: neat handwriting comes through clean. Rushed scribbles and tight cursive are still hit-and-miss.
Pixels in.
Plain text out.
No windows to manage and no files to save. Letra waits in the menu bar until you need it, then gets out of the way.

Reads more than text
Letra notices when what you grabbed is a link or a QR code, and it reads images you already copied. Most of the time you won't think about it, and that's the point.
QR codes and barcodes
Drag over a code on a slide or a poster photo and get the payload. QR links can open on their own if you turn that on.
Clipboard images and files
Copied a screenshot? Letra reads images straight from your clipboard, or any PNG, JPEG or PDF you open.
Links, detected
When what you grab is a URL, Letra files it under Links so it is one click away in your history.

Private by design
What's on your screen is yours. Letra reads it, hands you the text, and forgets the pixels.
