Explore office workflowsRead, Write, and Review With Less Friction
Use Think-Act to extract text from supported images and documents, improve selected or copied writing, listen to supported output, and configure shortcuts and themes for easier desktop work.
Think-Act complements assistive technology; it does not replace specialized accessibility software. OCR can make mistakes, and playback is available only where controls are shown, so review important output against the source.
Available for 64-bit Windows 10 and Windows 11. macOS is planned.
Think-Act Accessibility Workflows
Built into everyday desktop work
From hard-to-access content
to a format you can review
Use the parts of the workflow that help: extract supported content, simplify or rewrite it, listen where playback is available, and compare important details with the source.

Compare with the source
Think-Act works with selected text, images, documents, and recordings. External actions require an enabled connector. OCR and AI output should be reviewed before use.

Extract from screenshots
Get selectable text from supported screenshots and images.
Convert scanned documents
Extract text from supported scanned PDFs and document images.
Summarize long passages
Prepare a shorter draft that points you to sections worth reviewing.

Writing Support
Make a difficult passage easier to work with
Use selected or copied text to simplify complex wording, adjust grammar and tone, translate a passage, or prepare a new draft from a short description. Compare the result with your original meaning before you use it.
- Rewrite selected or copied text in a clearer style.
- Simplify complex or jargon-heavy wording into plain language.
- Translate a passage or ask for a simpler version.
- Use prompt-only mode when you want to draft without clipboard context.
Listening Support
Listen when reading is not the best fit
When a playback control is shown for OCR output or a generated response, text-to-speech gives you another way to review that content. You can listen on its own or follow the text on screen.
Text-to-speech is available for supported OCR output and generated responses when playback controls are shown. It is not available for every content type or output.
- Listen to supported OCR output and generated responses.
- Use the controls shown to pause or stop when you have finished.
- Use audio as another way to review longer content.

Assistive technology
Designed to work alongside the tools you rely on
Think-Act is being built with screen reader and keyboard users in mind. Controls need useful names, focus needs to move predictably, and important status or error information cannot depend on color alone.
Named controls
Buttons, fields, and major regions should expose meaningful labels to assistive technology.
Predictable focus
Keyboard focus should remain visible and follow the task in a useful order.
Clear state changes
Progress, warnings, unavailable actions, and results should be understandable without color alone.
Room to improve
Support can vary by workflow, release, and assistive-technology setup. We want reports when something gets in the way.

Practical workflows
Start with a task that is difficult today
These workflows can complement assistive technology and can also help when a scan, long document, or difficult passage slows the work down. Explore more ways to reduce everyday friction on the productivity workflows page.
Read a scanned letter
OCR extracts text from a supported scan so it can be copied or summarized. When a playback control is shown, the extracted text can also be played as audio. Check it against the letter.
Explore personal workflowsSummarize a long policy
Ask for a draft summary that points to key sections, clauses, or actions, then return to the document for the details that matter.
Extract text from a screenshot
Capture a supported error message, table, or instruction and extract the visible text so you can copy or reuse it.
Explore OCR & DocumentsListen to a long response
Play a supported summary or response as audio and follow the text on screen if that helps you review it.
Turn visual instructions into steps
Extract visible labels from a process image, then prepare a numbered draft to compare with the original instructions.
Explore Screen RecorderFor longer workflows, see how Think-Act can automate repeatable steps, work with connected tools, or support developer tasks. Connector-based actions remain scoped and reviewable.
