About image to text (OCR)
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) reads the letters in an image and turns them into editable text. It works best on clear, high-contrast images with printed text. The first run downloads the recognition engine, so it may take a few extra seconds.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Recognition happens in your browser using Tesseract.js — your image stays on your device.
Which languages?
This tool recognises English text. Handwriting and low-quality scans may give imperfect results.
