OCR Text Recognition
Extract text from images and screenshots in 100+ languages — powered by Tesseract.js, running privately in your browser.
Where OCR earns its keep
Copying text from a screenshot, pulling a quote from a photographed book page, digitising a printed form, extracting a tracking number from a delivery photo — OCR turns pictures of words back into words you can search, edit and quote. Accuracy is best on sharp, well-lit images with horizontal text.
Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded?
No. The recognition engine (Tesseract.js) runs entirely in your browser — the language data downloads to your device once, and the image never leaves it.
Handwriting?
Neat handwriting sometimes works, but printed text is what this engine is built for. For handwriting, expect best results with clear pen-on-white-paper images.
