OCR Optical Character Recognition

OCR Text Recognition Overview

OCR (optical character recognition) extracts text from images, useful for digitizing and searching scanned documents, screenshots, or IDs.

This tool lets you upload an image and get editable text output for copying, translation, or archiving. Accuracy depends on image clarity, language, and layout.

How to Use

Upload Image

Select or drag an image that contains text (e.g. screenshot, scan). Common formats are supported. Preview the area to be recognized if the tool allows.

Run Recognition

Click "Recognize" or "Start" to run OCR. If language or region can be set, choose the correct language (e.g. English or mixed) for better accuracy.

Get and Edit Text

When done, the result area shows the extracted text; copy it or edit/translate as needed. If the tool supports multiple pages or batch, process more images in turn.

FAQ

What affects recognition accuracy?

Which languages are supported?

Check the tool’s language list; often English and Chinese (or mixed) are supported, and some engines support more.

Is the image uploaded to a server?

If the tool uses an online OCR API, the image is typically sent to a server. See this site’s privacy and data policy; use caution with sensitive content.
