Image to text (OCR)
Pull editable, searchable text out of any image or screenshot — photos of pages, signs, slides and whiteboards.
Text trapped in an image can’t be searched, copied, or edited. Whether it’s a photo of a document, a screenshot, a slide, or a whiteboard after a meeting, you usually want the words back as text.
OCR Extract converts the image to clean, editable text you can paste anywhere. From there, summarize it, translate it, turn it into flashcards, or feed it into any of the document tools.
It’s the first step that unlocks the rest: once content is text, every other tool here can work on it.
