About Image to Text (OCR)
Image to Text (OCR) uses optical character recognition to extract readable text from images. Upload a photo, screenshot, or scanned document and get the text content ready to copy. Supports English and many other languages.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the OCR?
Accuracy depends heavily on image quality. Clear, high-contrast text on white background achieves 95%+ accuracy. Handwriting, stylized fonts, and low-resolution images produce less reliable results.
Does this work with handwritten text?
Tesseract.js is optimized for printed text. Handwriting recognition accuracy varies and is generally lower than printed text recognition.
