📖 What is the Image to Text (OCR)?
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is technology that identifies text characters inside digital images. Students use OCR to extract notes from whiteboard photos, convert book screenshots into editable summaries, and digitize hand-written scans.
Our OCR tool runs Tesseract.js directly inside your browser. This means your images are parsed locally on your processor, making the process faster, completely private, and highly secure.
