How it works
Extract printed English text in three steps
02
Choose a layout
Use Auto for most documents, Single column for articles, or Sparse text for signs and labels.
03
Compare and copy
Review the editable result against the original image before using names, dates, or amounts.
Example
Best for clear printed text
A straight, high-contrast screenshot or document photo is a good fit. Handwriting, receipts, scene photos, tiny characters, shadows, and blur can produce mistakes, so important details must be checked against the image.
Questions
Image to Text details
Are images uploaded?
No. Recognition runs in your browser. Got A Tool does not receive or store the selected image.
Which language does this version read?
This version is designed for printed English text. It does not promise reliable handwriting or multilingual recognition.
Why should I check the result?
OCR can confuse similar characters and miss text in difficult photos. Always verify names, dates, amounts, and other important information.
