Overview
ReadSnap captures web pages and sends them to your Readwise Reader library — with optional OCR text extraction.
HOW IT WORKS
• Click "Full Page" to capture an entire scrollable page, stitched into a single image
• Click "Select Area" to draw a rectangle and capture just that region
• ReadSnap extracts text from the image using built-in OCR (powered by Tesseract.js)
• The screenshot and extracted text are saved to Readwise Reader automatically
FEATURES
• Full-page capture with automatic scrolling and stitching
• Area selection for capturing specific regions
• Built-in OCR — no external services, everything runs locally in your browser
• Supports English and Italian text recognition
• Keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+Shift+S (full page), Ctrl+Shift+A (area select)
• Configurable default tags for organizing your captures
• Toggle image inclusion and OCR on/off independently
SETUP
1. Install the extension
2. Open Settings and enter your Readwise access token (get it from readwise.io/access_token)
3. Start capturing
PRIVACY
All OCR processing happens locally in your browser. No data is sent to third parties — only to your Readwise account using your personal API token
