Find documents, images, and files by name, content, or meaning. Just describe what you're looking for.
AnyTXT finds exact keyword matches in your documents. FileScope understands concepts. Search for "quarterly revenue breakdown" and find your Q3 financial report, even if those exact words aren't in the file.
FileScope reads text from screenshots, scanned receipts, whiteboard photos, and any other image file using built-in Windows OCR. AnyTXT does not support extracting or searching text from images.
Press Ctrl+Space from any application and FileScope's search bar appears instantly. No window switching, no app launching. Just type and find. AnyTXT has limited hotkey support that opens its full application window.
Find files by what you remember, not what you named them.
