On-device processing
Text recognition (OCR) uses Google’s ML Kit Text Recognition running on your device. No image or text leaves your phone.
How you give us an image
ShotOCR exposes itself as a target in Android’s share sheet. When you take a screenshot or open any photo and tap the share button, you can pick “ShotOCR” to send the image to the app. You can also pick an image from the gallery using the Pick image button inside the app.
The app does not read your screen, does not use Android’s Accessibility service, and does not draw any overlay on top of other apps.
Network connections
The internet is used only by Google AdMob to load ads (see “Advertising” below). Nothing from your snips is sent to any server we control.
Permissions the app requests
- Internet / network state — required to load ads.
The app does not request location, contacts, microphone, camera, or broad storage permission.
Advertising
ShotOCR shows ads provided by Google AdMob. Google’s advertising SDK collects and processes limited data — for example, your device’s advertising identifier, IP address, and approximate IP-based location — to serve and measure ads. Ads are loaded only when the device has an internet connection.

If you live in a region where consent is required (the EEA, UK, Switzerland, or a US state with applicable privacy law), the app uses Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) on first launch so you can choose whether ads are personalized.
Children
This app is not directed at children under 13 and is not classified as a “family” app on Google Play.
