About this tool

This is the quickest path from one picture to text you can paste. There is nothing to configure beyond the language: drop the image in, run it, and the recognised text appears in a panel you can copy from or download as a .txt file.

Under the hood it uses the same recognition engine as the other OCR tools, so the same guidance applies — straight, well-lit, reasonably large text gives the best results. A word and character count is included, which is handy when you are pulling a quote or checking a length limit.

What it's good for

  • Copying a quote from a photographed page.
  • Turning a screenshot of a table into text.
  • Extracting a code or reference number from an image.
  • Getting text out of an image someone sent you in chat.

Features

  • Word count

  • Copy or download

  • Local recognition

Questions people ask

What if nothing is recognised?
The image is probably too small, blurred or low contrast. Try a sharper capture.
Can I do several images at once?
Use OCR Image, which accepts a batch.
Is layout preserved?
Line breaks are kept where detected, but columns and tables are not reconstructed.
