About OCR - Image to Text
OCR turns a picture of text — a photo of a page, a screenshot, a scanned document — into text you can actually copy, search and edit. This free tool recognises text in images in 13+ languages, including English, Dutch, German, French, Chinese and Japanese. It's perfect for digitising notes, grabbing text from a screenshot, or pulling a quote out of an image. All recognition happens locally in your browser, so your images never leave your device.
