ScreenLex for Raycast
Capture, translate, and manage screenshots with ScreenLex without leaving Raycast. The extension sends local deep links to the ScreenLex Mac app; capture permissions, OCR, translation settings, and API credentials remain managed by ScreenLex.
Requirements
- macOS 14.6 or later
- Raycast
- A ScreenLex build with Raycast integration from screenlex.cc
- Screen Recording permission for ScreenLex when using capture or screenshot translation commands
- Node.js 22.22.2 or later for extension development
Launch ScreenLex once before using the extension so macOS can register the screenlex-v1:// deep-link scheme.
Commands

Compatibility
The extension requires a ScreenLex version that supports the screenlex-v1:// scheme. Older ScreenLex builds only register screenlex:// and cannot run these commands. If Raycast asks you to update ScreenLex, install the latest available build and launch it once.
Privacy
The extension does not read or store screenshots, recognized text, translation results, or API keys. Screen capture and OCR are performed by the ScreenLex app. Depending on the translation mode selected in ScreenLex, recognized text may be processed on device or sent to the configured translation provider.
