Sobre Image to Text Converter
Retyping text from a photo, a scan or a screenshot takes time and invites mistakes. This image to text converter reads the printed English words in a picture and gives them back as text you can edit, copy or download as a plain text file.
Clear, straight and well lit pictures give the best results. Crop the picture to the words before you start, because a smaller area is quicker to read and less likely to pick up stray marks. Handwriting, decorative fonts and very small text are harder to read, so always check the words against the picture.

Perguntas frequentes
How accurate is the text?
Clear printed English text is usually read well, but mistakes can happen, especially with small text, unusual fonts or blurry photos. Always check the result against the picture before you rely on it.
Which languages can it read?
English is the only language available at the moment. Pictures that contain other languages may be read with mistakes or not at all.
Why is no text found in my picture?
The picture may be too dark, too blurry, too small or turned the wrong way. Try a clearer picture, crop closer to the words, or turn the picture so the text runs straight across.
Does the tool work with handwriting?
Handwriting is much harder to read than printed text, so results are often poor. Printed or typed text gives far better results.
