How screenshot OCR text extraction works in BrowseReporter
Screenshot OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a BrowseReporter capability that identifies and indexes text that shows within screenshots. This makes it possible to search, review, and act on information that would otherwise remain locked inside image files.
- Searchable screenshots.
Extract and index text from every screenshot, so captured screen activity becomes searchable and easier to work with. - Find content fast.
Locate relevant screenshots using keywords, users, groups, or date ranges instead of opening captures one at a time. - Built for review.
Speed up investigations, productivity reviews, and compliance checks with fast and accurate search results. - AI-assisted foundation
An OCR-enabled framework that delivers text extraction today while supporting future capabilities such as sensitive data detection and redaction.
Why Screenshots Are Hard to Search Without OCR
Without OCR, screenshots function primarily as visual records. Finding specific information across thousands of screenshots can be slow and time-consuming, limiting the value of the data you’ve captured.
Text remains inaccessible to search when it exists only within screenshot images.
Reviewers often need to open and inspect screenshots individually to find relevant information.
Compliance, security, and operations teams need a faster way to search content across users, groups, and time periods.
Text extraction can vary slightly between screenshots. Flexible search options help surface relevant results even when exact matches aren’t available.
Built to Make Screenshot Text Searchable
Turn screenshot content into searchable records instead of depending solely on visual reviews.
Help reviewers find relevant screenshots through extracted text rather than manually scanning images.
Unlock more value from screenshot data across compliance, productivity, security, and business workflows.

“Since we’ve let employees work from home we’ve had to have them connect remotely to the office. Thanks to BrowseReporter we know exactly what they’re doing during work hours.”

“It was going onto the employee’s machine and hoping that they didn’t clear out their history, things of that nature.
The more requests I got from our HR department requesting to know what the user was doing at a particular point in time, it became apparent that we needed to get a central management system in place for monitoring web activity.”
