Image to Text - Convert Images Into Text Using Online OCR Tool

Our image-to-text converter is an online tool that allows you to extract text from the images. You can use it for all types of images, such as scanned notes, screenshots, pictures of textbook pages, etc.

This tool recognizes the characters written inside an image and then copies them in a digital format. It works on advanced algorithms, such as Pytesseract and OpenCV, to refine and process the image and then recognize the text by checking the individual characters against its database. It can detect all languages, such as English, Arabic, Japanese, and Chinese.

Our OCR photo-to-text converter can be used for the following image formats: PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WebP.

How Does the OCR Technology Work in Our Image-to-Text Converter?

Our image to text technology utilizes OCR to copy text from pictures. The working of OCR technology involves different steps. To understand this working better, you can read the breakdown of the process below:

Image processing

The first step of an OCR engine is to process the provided image. “Processing” the image involves correcting its orientation, getting rid of extra blank spaces, and so forth. This essentially helps the OCR engine to prepare the image for character recognition.

Character segmentation/isolation

Once the image has been processed and “cleaned,” the next step for the OCR engine is to isolate the characters written inside it. Separating the characters is important so that the engine can identify them individually with accuracy.

Character recognition

After all the characters have been separated, the engine matches them all one by one against a database. By matching the appearance of the characters with those that it has in the database, the OCR engine is able to identify them all accurately.

Text extraction

All the characters that are recognized in the image are then provided to the user in the form of digital text.
