How to convert an image to text

What can you use it for?

Image-to-text conversion can be useful for extracting text from screenshots, photographed documents, receipts, notes, signs, printed pages and other images containing readable text.

Does it work with screenshots?

Yes. Screenshots containing clear, readable text can be processed. Higher-resolution images with good contrast generally produce better OCR results.

Improve your OCR results

For better results, use a sharp image with good lighting, keep the text horizontal where possible, avoid excessive blur and make sure the text is large enough to read clearly.
