How to use Image to Text (OCR)

Add one or more images, or paste a screenshot with Ctrl + V.
Choose the language of the text in the image.
Press Extract text. The first time, the language data needs a few seconds to load.
Check the text, then copy it or download it as a .txt file.

Retyping text from a photo, receipt, book page or screenshot takes ages. OCR (optical character recognition) reads it for you in seconds.

Your images are read on your device. Only the recognition engine and language data are downloaded, never your images.

Sharp, well-lit images with straight text give the best results.

Which languages are supported?

English, Urdu, Arabic, Hindi, French, German, Spanish, Turkish and Chinese (Simplified). Choose "English + Urdu" for mixed text.

Can it read handwriting?

It works best with printed text. Neat handwriting sometimes works, but results vary.

Why are there small mistakes?

Blurry, dark or tilted photos are harder to read. Retake the photo straight on in good light, or crop it to just the text.

Are my images uploaded?

No. The text is read inside your browser. Only the open-source recognition engine (Tesseract) is downloaded the first time.
