Why recognize text from an image

Text recognition (OCR) turns text in a screenshot, scan or photo of a document into editable text that can be copied, edited or pasted into another document. It saves you from manually retyping quotes from books, documents, signs or presentation slides.

The tool works right in the browser without uploading images to third-party servers, which matters for confidential documents. The recognized text can be downloaded in a convenient format for further editing or archiving.
