OCR text extraction

Pulls the text out of a photo, scan or screenshot, entirely in your browser, using Tesseract.js.

Why it exists

Useful for digitising a printed page, pulling text from a screenshot, or making a scanned document searchable.

How to use it

Drop an image. A small recognition model downloads once on first use, then the extracted text appears for copying or download.

Good to know

Works best on clear, horizontal, well-lit text. Handwriting and heavily stylised fonts are less reliable.
