Screenshots and Vision (Image Analysis)

Whisperer can take a screenshot during a meeting and instantly analyze it with AI. This lets you get an explanation of a diagram, a terminal error, a chart, or a slide — without leaving the overlay or losing focus on the conversation.

This feature is available on Start, Pro, and Max plans.

When to Use

  • The other person shared their screen and is showing a diagram or code — ask Whisperer to explain it.
  • An interview problem appears with a drawing or table — take a screenshot and get a breakdown.
  • You need to understand an on-screen error without switching away from the overlay.
  • Multi-screenshot: accumulate several frames in a row for comparison or detailed analysis.

Single Screenshot

macOS

  1. Click the "Screenshot" button (camera icon) on the CommandBar, or use the keyboard shortcut (set by default in /app/hotkeys).
  2. Whisperer captures the current state of the screen.
  3. The image is sent to the AI; the analysis response appears in AnswerArea.

The "Screen Recording" permission is required for screenshots — the same permission used to capture the counterpart's voice. If the permission has not been granted, the screenshot button will be inactive.

Windows

  1. Press Ctrl+Alt+S (default) or click the screenshot button in the overlay.
  2. The capture is saved to Downloads\Whisperer_Screenshots\ and copied to the clipboard.
  3. The AI analyzes the image; the result appears in AnswerArea.

On Windows, screenshots do not require additional permissions.

Multi-Screenshot

Multi-screenshot lets you accumulate several frames and send them to the AI in a single request — useful when analyzing a sequence of steps, comparing "before/after", or reviewing multiple slides.

  1. Click the multi-screenshot button (or Ctrl+Shift+Enter in the Windows overlay).
  2. Take one or more additional captures — they queue up.
  3. Click "Analyze" — all frames are sent to the AI at once.

Common Errors

Error Cause Fix
Screenshot button is inactive (macOS) Screen Recording permission not granted macOS Permissions
Screenshot captures the Whisperer overlay Overlay is configured without "stealth" mode Enable "Hide during screen capture" in settings
AI does not see the needed part of the screen The entire screen is captured, not a window Temporarily move the target window to the foreground
"Vision unavailable" Free plan does not include vision Upgrade to Start or higher

Best Practices

  • Before taking a screenshot, make sure the content you need is fully visible and not covered by other windows.
  • State your question before the capture: type it in the text field ("explain this diagram", "what does this error mean") — the AI will answer precisely.
  • Multi-screenshot is useful for problems with multiple steps: capture all steps, then send them in one request.
  • No-logs mode: if the meeting is confidential, enable it — screenshots are also not saved to history.
