Reading text…
Extracting text from a photo or screenshot — a scanned note, a sign, a book page — without retyping it by hand. This uses real OCR (optical character recognition) running in your browser, no upload required.
How it works
- Add your imageA clear photo, scan, or screenshot works best.
- Run text extractionOn-device OCR reads the image and pulls out the text it finds.
- Copy the resultEdit directly in the box, or copy it straight into another document.
Good to know
- Works best on clear, well-lit, horizontal text
- Handwriting recognition is far less reliable than printed text

FAQ
Why is the text extraction not perfect?
OCR accuracy depends heavily on image clarity, lighting, and font. Blurry, angled, or low-contrast photos will produce more errors than a clean scan.
Does this work on handwriting?
It can attempt handwriting, but accuracy is much lower than for printed or typed text.
Is my image sent anywhere for processing?
No — the OCR engine runs entirely in your browser. Your image is never uploaded to a server.
