Roadmap

Available On Release

• One-Click Region Capture
  
  Capture any screen region as an image or convert it to text via OCR. Results are copied instantly to the clipboard—no file saving or setup required.
  
  
• Fullscreen Capture (Hotkey)
  
  Use CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+A to capture a fullscreen image or CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+S for fullscreen OCR on the active monitor. This is ideal for working with fullscreen apps.
  
  
• Offline, Local Processing
  
  All image capture and text recognition happens locally on your machine. No data is sent anywhere—privacy is a core design principle.
  
  

In Progress

• QR Code Recognition
  
  Automatically detect and decode QR codes from screen captures, copying the result directly to your clipboard. Great for links, menus, or embedded info in documents.
  
  
• Text-to-Speech
  
  Have recognized text read aloud using your system’s voice engine. Useful for accessibility, multitasking, or reviewing text hands-free.
  
  
• Tray Menu Icons
  
  The tray menu will be updated to use icons instead of text labels for capture modes. We may also include previews or short descriptions of recent actions.
  
  
• Improved Fullscreen Region Selection
  
  We’re working to support region-based overlays even in fullscreen applications, matching the experience of standard windowed capture.
  
  

Planned / Under Consideration

• Automatic Language & Text Type Detection
  
  Future versions will support additional languages, including auto-detection of source language and translation into your system’s default or a selected language.
  
  
• Translation Support
  
  OCR text can be locally translated into your selected language—all processing remains fully offline for maximum privacy.
  
  
• Tesseract Customization
  
  A planned advanced version of UnicornOCR will offer a user interface for configuring Tesseract’s OCR options, enabling better performance for specific layouts or input types.
