Screenshot Capture (OCR) Basic+

A manual backup tool that reads a buyer's TikTok profile card and fills in their username and nickname for you — so you can add missed buyers quickly without typing.

What this feature is for

When a buyer gets pinned in your TikTok live, Tagasulat normally captures their username automatically through the TikTok connection. The screenshot capture feature is a manual backup — it lets you click a buyer's username in your browser, have the app read their profile card, and fill in the form for you.

💡
Use it when:
  • A pin wasn't caught automatically
  • You need to add a buyer you missed during the live
  • The TikTok listener isn't connected and you're running the session manually

How to set it up

You only need to do this once before your live starts.

1

Open your TikTok live in the browser.

2

Click on any username in the comment section — a profile card will appear showing their username and nickname.

3

With the card visible on screen, press F2 in Tagasulat. Your cursor will change to a crosshair.

4

Click and drag to draw a box tightly around the username and nickname on the profile card.

5

The app reads the selected region immediately and fills in the username and nickname. The region is not saved — every F2 press opens the selection overlay fresh so you can draw around wherever the profile card currently appears.

💡
The profile card appears in roughly the same position each time you click a username, so your F2 drag becomes quick and repeatable — as long as you don't move or resize the browser window.

How to use it during a live

1

In your browser, click on the buyer's username in the TikTok live — their profile card appears on screen.

2

Press F2 in Tagasulat. The app reads the profile card and fills in the username and nickname fields.

3

Always check the filled fields before printing. Correct anything that looks wrong, then proceed as normal.

What it can and cannot do

✅
Works well for
  • Clean, standard usernames with letters, numbers, underscores, and dots
  • Nicknames written in plain text without emojis or decorative characters
  • Consistent results when the browser window hasn't been moved or resized

⚠️ Known limitations

Zero vs. the letter O
The most common OCR error. The app may read 0 as O or the other way around. A username like @user0123 might be captured as @userO123. Always glance at the username field before printing and correct it if needed.
The number 1, lowercase l, and capital I
These three characters look nearly identical at small sizes. @liza1234 could be read as @Iiza1234. If a buyer says their username wasn't found, this is the first thing to check.
Emojis in nicknames
The app cannot read emojis. If a buyer's nickname contains emojis, the nickname field will be blank or show garbled text — this is expected behavior. Type the nickname in manually.
Nicknames in other languages or stylized fonts
TikTok allows nicknames in any language and with decorative characters. The OCR engine is tuned for standard Latin text — nicknames in Arabic, Korean, Japanese, or heavily stylized fonts will not be read correctly. The username is almost always more reliable than the nickname since TikTok usernames are plain Latin characters only.
Browser window moved or resized
If you move or resize your browser between captures, the profile card will appear in a different spot on screen. Just press F2 again and redraw the selection around the new position.
👆
The golden rule: OCR is a helper, not a guarantee. Always read the filled fields before confirming. The username is usually correct — the nickname is best-effort. A wrong username will update the wrong buyer record, so a quick check before printing saves you from having to fix it later.
