AI OCR: Extract Text from an Image

This tool reads printed text off a photo or a scan with Tesseract OCR, so the words come back as text you can copy. If you want the AI to describe what is in a picture or write alt text for it, use the AI Image Describer →

Processing your request...

Upload a scanned page or a photo of a contract and get plain text back. Line breaks and paragraph structure are preserved.

What people use it for

Stop retyping

Photograph a printed page and paste the words straight into a document. Nothing to key in by hand and nothing to proofread against the original.

The layout survives

Line breaks and paragraphs come back the way they were on the page, so a scan pastes in readable instead of as one unbroken block.

It works out the language

Document Language opens on Auto-detect, with ten to pick from by hand when a faint or mixed scan needs the hint.
