What is OCR? How image to text conversion works

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a technology that allows computers to read characters in images, photos, and scanned documents and convert them into editable text data. It can be used for digitizing, searching, translating, and summarizing documents, as it eliminates the need for manual transcription.

This tool utilizes the latest AI OCR engine, enabling highly accurate transcription from a wide range of images, including not only printed materials but also photos taken with smartphones, screenshots, and vertically written Japanese documents.

Since it also supports transcription from non-image files such as audio, video, and PDF, you can use them according to your purpose.
