What Is Image to Text (OCR)?
Image to Text (OCR) converts text inside an image into editable, selectable text. It works on screenshots, scanned documents, receipts, invoices, photos of whiteboards, and more.
Instead of retyping, you can extract the text and copy it into Word, Google Docs, Excel, or any note app.
OnlinePCTools runs OCR in your browser, so your images are not uploaded to any server. This makes it a good choice for sensitive information like IDs, bank details, addresses, or internal documents.
