TextSniper

TextSniper is an easy-to-use desktop Mac OCR app that can extract and recognize any non-searchable and editable text on your Mac's screen. As the extra feature, it can turn everything into speech. It is an alternative to difficult and complicated optical character recognition tools. The tool is intuitive to use and makes extracting text from your images, paper documents, PDFs or even videos easy. No training or special skills required. It is accessible in the menu bar whenever you need it and has a simple user interface. If you ever have used a built-in mac's screen capture application before, then it wouldn't be any trouble to work with TextSniper too. Select with mouse any part of image, photo, PDF document or anything on your screen and app will process and recognize any text within this selection. The text output will be saved into a clipboard, so you could paste it into your favourite macOS text editing or note-taking software. Finally, TextSniper's optical character recognition engine doesn't need an internet connection to process documents. Great OCR solution for those who concerned about their privacy - no collecting any users' data.
