About this tool
Image to Text reads the words in a photo or screenshot of a document and gives them back as text you can copy or save as a .txt file. It supports nine languages and runs in your browser, so your images are never uploaded.
Good to know: Works best on sharp, well-lit images with horizontal text. Handwriting and very small text are not reliable, so check the result.
