Textsnap is a CPU-only OCR tool that leverages a quantized vision-language model to extract text from images, screenshots, and webpages via a single command. Its interesting combination of offline capability, markdown preservation, and clipboard support makes it a practical utility for developers needing fast, private OCR without GPUs or cloud dependencies.

Target audience: backend devs, data engineers, devops
