Capture Text from Research PDFs and Figures
Grab highlighted sections, captions, and equations from academic PDFs without retyping.
Build citations faster with screenshot OCR
Researchers, analysts, and students clip journal PDFs into images before sharing with collaborators. LocalKit converts those snippets into editable notes for literature reviews and summary decks.
Pair the extracted copy with citation managers like Zotero or EndNote to keep sources organised while you work offline.
How it works
- Take a screenshot of the paragraph, table, or figure you need.
- Upload the image and set additional languages if the article mixes English with Latin or Greek symbols.
- Copy the clean text into your notes app, then add the citation metadata manually.

FAQs
How does it handle math?
Inline math captures well. For complex equations, pair OCR with manual review to ensure symbols render correctly.
Can I keep italics or citations?
The free tool outputs plain text. Use Pro exports for Markdown if you need lightweight formatting.
