Text Capture

Text Capture lets you quickly send selected text from any application to Neoly for AI analysis.

How It Works

1. Select text in any application
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+E
3. Text is captured from clipboard
4. Sent directly to AI for analysis

Quick Start

Use Cases

Workflow Example

1. In a coding practice session, you see a complex piece of code
2. Select the code in your IDE
3. Press Ctrl+Shift+E
4. Ask: "What does this code do?"
5. Get instant explanation

2. Add context - Follow up with a specific question
3. Use with voice - Capture text, then ask via voice
4. Combine features - Text + screenshot for complete context
