use case · design & document feedback

Design and document feedback that points at the thing.

"Looks off" helps nobody, and "the third paragraph, second sentence" is a treasure hunt. Crop the spot, draw on it while you say what should change, and paste. The picture shows where; your words say why — and they arrive together.

draw on it while you say what should change

Press Alt ` , drag over the part of the draft you mean — the button, the headline, the paragraph, the chart — and recording starts. Run the highlighter over the sentence, box the button, put an arrow at the margin, and say what should change and why. Undo is there for the stroke that landed wrong.

Paste into the conversation — team chat, a comment thread, an email, the review doc — and the annotated screenshot and your transcribed notes land together.

what you can review this way

Designs

A mockup in the browser, an exported PNG, a prototype in a preview window.

Documents

The third paragraph, second sentence — boxed, so nobody has to count.

Slides and PDFs

A chart on slide 14, a table in a contract, the caption under a figure.

Live pages

The staging site or a page in production — if you can see it, you can crop it.

Spreadsheets

The one cell whose number cannot be right, circled.

Anything on a second monitor

The overlay covers every screen, so the draft can stay on the other one.

feedback that reads well

Spoken feedback can come out blunter than you meant it. Here it lands as editable text, so read it back and soften a word before anything is sent — or let the Polish voice mode tidy the grammar and drop the filler first. It runs on the built-in local model or your own Ollama server; Pro can route it through your own OpenAI or Claude account.

when the picture says it all

Alt 1 captures and annotates without recording — for the arrow that needs no sentence. And the other person needs nothing: no account, no app, no link to open. They get an ordinary image and ordinary text.

drafts stay private

Unreleased work stays unreleased: by default your speech becomes text on your device and screenshots stay in a local folder. No audio goes anywhere, nothing about you is tracked, and the draft goes only where you paste it. The full network-use table →

questions

Does the person receiving the feedback need CroppickVoice?

No. They get a normal image and normal text in whatever chat, comment thread or email you paste into.

Can I give feedback on a PDF or a live website?

Yes. Crop & Speak captures whatever is on screen — a PDF viewer, a browser tab, a slide deck in presentation mode.

Can I fix a stroke that landed wrong?

Yes — undo is in the markup toolbar, so a stray arrow costs one click.

Can I review a document by voice without a screenshot?

Yes. Put the cursor in the comment box, press Ctrl+`, and dictate the note. The screenshot is for when words alone would take a paragraph.
