Technical Specifications
Extract the text out of a photo, screenshot or scan using Tesseract — the most widely used open-source OCR engine — compiled to WebAssembly and running in your browser. Your image is never uploaded; only the language model for your chosen language is downloaded once and cached.
- Copy text from a screenshot instead of retyping it
- Digitize a photographed receipt, letter or whiteboard
- Recover text from an image where the original file is lost
Sharp, well-lit, high-contrast images with printed text work best. Skewed photos, decorative fonts and handwriting reduce accuracy significantly — that is a property of OCR itself, not this tool.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I copy text straight to my clipboard?
- Yes. Once OCR finishes, the recognized text appears in an interactive editor with a one-click 'Copy to Clipboard' button and a 'Download TXT' option.
- Does the OCR engine send my picture to a cloud AI?
- No. The Tesseract neural network runs locally inside your browser tab. Your images never leave your computer or phone.
