Free Document Scanner — Photo to Text with Enhanced OCR

When to Use the Document Scanner

You photograph a letter, a printed form, or a book page. Raw OCR on camera photos often struggles with uneven lighting and shadows. The document scanner preprocesses the image — enhancing contrast and converting to grayscale — before OCR for significantly better accuracy.

How to Scan a Document

1. Open the Document Scanner
2. Upload a photo of your document
3. The tool enhances the image automatically, then runs OCR
4. Copy extracted text or download as .txt

Document Photo Tips

• Even lighting — avoid shadows across the page
• Straight angle — photograph from directly above
• Full page visible — include all text you want extracted
• Steady hands — blurry photos reduce accuracy significantly
