Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Sundar — I built Textquill because I was tired of retyping text trapped in images: screenshots, photos of documents, signs, slides, receipts.
Textquill turns any image into editable text right in your browser, and everything runs on your device. No account, no uploads, no tracking — your images and the text in them never leave your computer.
What you can do:
• Right-click any image on the web → Extract text
• Select any area of the screen (Alt+Shift+S)
• Drop in, drag & drop, or paste an image
• 16 languages incl. Hindi, Chinese, Arabic, Japanese (+ auto-detect)
• QR & barcode detection, read-aloud, searchable local history
• Export to TXT or Markdown, light & dark mode
It's free and works offline (after a one-time language download for non-English). The OCR runs locally via WebAssembly, so it's private by design — a safe choice for screenshots of private messages, documents, or work whiteboards.
I'd genuinely love your feedback: what would make this a daily-use tool for you? Which languages and workflows matter most? I'm around all day to answer anything. 🙏
