  2. Choose the language and whether to include the original image.
  3. Select Extract text to Word, check the preview, and download.

Questions and answers

How accurate is it?

Clear, straight photos of printed text work well. Blurry, angled or dim photos, decorative fonts and handwriting reduce accuracy. A confidence score helps you judge.

Why is the first run slower?

The first time, your browser downloads the text-recognition data (a few MB). After that it's kept, so later runs start faster.

Can it read handwriting?

No. It's designed for printed text.

Are my images uploaded?

Everything happens in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see them.
