How to use Image to OCR Text Extractor

  1. Upload a photo or screenshot containing text.
  2. A real OCR engine (Tesseract, compiled to WebAssembly) runs entirely in your browser to recognize the text.
  3. Copy the extracted text or download it.

Limitations

  • Accuracy depends heavily on image quality — low resolution, heavy skew, or unusual fonts reduce recognition accuracy.
  • Handwriting recognition is much less reliable than printed text; this tool is tuned for printed/typed text.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a real OCR model or just guessing?

It's Tesseract.js, a real, widely-used open-source OCR engine, running as WebAssembly directly in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
