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.
