What is a In-Browser Image OCR Text Extractor?
OCR (optical character recognition) turns the text in a picture into text you can copy and edit. This tool uses Tesseract, a well-known open-source OCR engine, running inside your browser. It works best on screenshots and clear scans; photos taken at an angle or in low light give weaker results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:How can I get better results?
Use a sharp, straight image with good contrast and text at least 20 px tall. Crop out everything that is not text.
Q:Does it read handwriting?
Neat handwriting sometimes works, but Tesseract is made for printed text.
Q:Can it read Arabic?
Yes, choose Arabic. Printed Arabic works; stylised fonts and mixed-direction text are harder.
