Detailed User Guide
Extract text from images with local OCR
The tool uses Tesseract OCR running in your browser to recognize text in photos, screenshots, and scans — no upload required.
Picking the right language improves accuracy
Choosing the correct language for the text dramatically improves recognition, since OCR uses language-specific models for characters and words.
Clean, high-contrast images work best
OCR accuracy depends on image quality. Sharp, well-lit, high-contrast text recognizes far better than blurry or skewed photos.
Expect to proofread the output
Even good OCR makes occasional mistakes, especially on stylized fonts or handwriting. Treat the result as a first draft to review.
Private by design
Because recognition runs locally, sensitive documents like ID cards or contracts never leave your device.
