Image to text: frequently asked questions
Quick answers before you start.
More OCR toolsDoes it recognise Hindi text?+
Yes. Choose Hindi for Devanagari text, or English + Hindi when a page mixes both languages.
How can I get more accurate results?+
Use a sharp, well-lit photo taken straight on, with the text filling most of the frame. Handwriting and decorative fonts are harder to read.
Is Image to text free?+
Yes. It is completely free, with no signup, no subscription and no watermark on your files.
Are my files uploaded to a server?+
No. Image to text works inside your browser, so your file stays on your device. It is uploaded only if you switch on server processing, and even then it is not stored.
