Recognize printed text from images and convert it into digital, editable text using optical character recognition (OCR) for scanned documents, photos of documents, screenshots, and more.
Text Scanner (OCR) is an application with optical character recognition capabilities that can recognize printed text from images and convert that text into digital, editable text. Users can take or import photos of documents, book pages, handwritten notes, screenshots, and more, and Text Scanner will detect the text in the image and extract it.
This allows you to take analog text from things like printed papers or handwritten notes and transform it into digital text documents on your computer. The digitalized text can then be edited, formatted, saved, searched, copied/pasted, and shared like any text document.
Text Scanner has customizable options to improve text recognition accuracy for things like document types, image quality, text orientation, and languages. It can handle images with multiple text columns, tables, images mixed with text, and irregular document layouts. The extracted text can be exported into common formats like .doc, .pdf, .txt, and more.
Some key features include: Batch conversion of multiple images into editable documents, real-time text recognition as you take photos, automation workflows to convert images to text instantly, text-to-speech for the recognized text, cloud connectivity for working across devices, and more.
Text Scanner (OCR) helps make text from physical or analog sources more usable and shareable in today's digital world of productivity and collaboration.
