Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is a legitimate OCR utility for macOS. Access to files and imported document images is normal for its purpose, and those files may contain sensitive personal or business information, so use it with documents you trust and review any exported text before sharing. Removal is typically low risk if you no longer use the app, though uninstalling it will also remove its OCR workflow from your Mac.
Recommendation: Keep it if you use your Mac for OCR, scanned paperwork, or document conversion. If you no longer need those features, you can remove it without affecting macOS itself; just save any exported files or project materials you want to keep first.
