Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract text from cloud eBook readers?
Use TextMuncher's browser extension for automated page turning and screenshot capture, or upload manual screenshots from any web-based reading platform. Our OCR converts displayed content to searchable text with 97% accuracy.
Which platforms work with TextMuncher?
Works with any browser-based eBook reader including major cloud platforms, subscription services, and web reading apps. No specific integrations needed.
Can I export the text as an EPUB or PDF file?
No. TextMuncher extracts plain text that you can copy into ChatGPT, Claude, or your research notes. It doesn't create EPUB or PDF ebook files for reading on other devices.
Can I convert EPUB files to text for AI research?
Yes! Upload EPUB files you own for direct text extraction. Choose Structured mode for clean formatting or Raw mode for complete unfiltered content.
Is screenshot-based text extraction legal?
Yes! Capturing screenshots of content you're legitimately viewing for personal research, accessibility, and note-taking is considered legal fair use. Users must ensure their use complies with applicable copyright laws and platform terms of service.
How accurate is the OCR for eBook text?
TextMuncher achieves 97% accuracy on eBook text, specifically optimized for reading content with clean fonts and formatting found in digital books.
Does TextMuncher automatically turn pages and capture screenshots?
Yes! Our browser extension provides completely hands-free operation — it automatically turns pages AND captures screenshots from web-based readers.
How fast does TextMuncher process screenshots?
TextMuncher has two speeds for two steps. Capture — the extension turning pages and taking screenshots — runs at about 1.7 seconds per page. OCR — converting those screenshots into text — runs on a multi-worker engine, typically 1 to 2 seconds per page on a standard laptop and faster on a powerful machine. A 50-screenshot batch usually finishes in a minute or two.
Do you upload my content?
TextMuncher runs in your browser. We don't upload or store the pages, screenshots, or text you process. Only account and billing info (handled by Stripe/Firebase) leaves your device.
