Image to text

Copy text out of anything.

Photos, screenshots, scanned PDFs: drop them in and get the text back, ready to copy. Or turn a scan into a PDF you can actually search. The reading happens on your device, so your payslip doesn't get read by some server first.

Handy for

  • That PDF you can't copy from

    A scanned contract or letter: make it searchable, then find and copy what you need.

  • Photos of paper

    A receipt, a recipe, a whiteboard, a page from a book.

  • Screenshots

    The text in an image someone sent you, a slide, an error message.

  • Before you redact

    Scanned pages have no text to search. Make them searchable first, then Find & redact works on them too.

Works best on printed text in a clear, straight photo. Handwriting is hit and miss. For a phone photo of a page, run it through the document scanner first: straightened and cleaned up, it reads a lot better.
