What OCR is
OCR (optical character recognition) turns text «drawn» inside an image into real, editable text you can copy. It's perfect for scanned documents, photos of pages, screenshots, signs or labels.
Tips for a good result
Use sharp, well-lit images with straight text and good contrast between the writing and the background. Pick the right language for the best accuracy. The first run downloads the recognition model (only once), then it stays in memory.
