What is the Image to Text (OCR)?
The Image to Text (OCR) tool reads printed or handwritten text from a photo, screenshot or scan and returns an editable transcript. The OCR engine runs inside your browser via WebAssembly, so document scans never leave your device.
English and Hindi are currently supported. The engine (~2 MB) downloads on first use and is cached afterwards.
