Quick Tool Overview

Image to Text OCR runs a recognition engine as WebAssembly inside the page, so the document never leaves your machine — which matters because contracts, invoices and ID documents are exactly what people want to OCR. Accuracy tracks input quality, and preprocessing for photographs is offered rather than assumed unnecessary.

About the Image to Text OCR

Retyping text out of a screenshot or a scanned page is a job nobody should still be doing by hand, and OCR has been good enough to avoid it for years.

The recognition engine here runs as WebAssembly inside the page, which means the document never goes anywhere — the point being that the things people most want to OCR are contracts, invoices, statements and ID documents. The engine is a few megabytes and is fetched the first time you use it, then reused. Accuracy depends almost entirely on the input: a clean screenshot is close to perfect, a straight scan is very good, and a photograph of a curved page at an angle is not. Preprocessing helps, and the tool offers it.

Key features of the Image to Text OCR

Runs in the browser

A WebAssembly engine, so contracts and statements are never uploaded to be read.

Many languages

The right language model makes a substantial difference, so it is a choice rather than an assumption.

Preprocessing built in

Contrast and threshold adjustments that turn a poor photograph into a readable one before recognition runs.

Confidence flagging

Low-confidence words are marked, so you know which parts to check rather than proofreading everything.

Cached after first use

The engine downloads once and is reused, so the second document is immediate.
