How to Use Image to Text (OCR)
A photo, scan, or screenshot containing text - any common image format works.
OCR analyzes the visible characters and creates machine-readable text.
Check important names, numbers and dates against the source before relying on the result.

What this tool does
This tool uses optical character recognition to turn text visible in an image into machine-readable text. OCR is especially useful for scans, photographs and screenshots.
What to check before converting
Use the clearest source image available. Straight pages, readable fonts, good contrast and limited background noise generally give OCR more information to work with. Always review names, numbers and other critical text against the original image.
What the output can preserve
The output contains recognized text rather than a visual copy of the source image. Recognition errors are possible, so the result should be checked before it is treated as authoritative.
Known limitations
OCR can misread characters, especially in blurry, skewed, low-contrast or unusual-font images. It does not replace human verification for important documents.
