Turn document photos into editable text. Enhanced OCR with image preprocessing for photos of letters, forms, and printed pages.
Take a photo of any printed document and convert it to editable text in seconds. Unlike basic OCR tools, this document scanner applies image preprocessing before reading text — converting to grayscale and boosting contrast to handle the uneven lighting, shadows, and color noise that come with document photos. The result is significantly more accurate text extraction from photos of letters, forms, contracts, book pages, and printed reports. Everything runs in your browser with no uploads, no accounts, and no cost.
Upload a photo of any printed document — a letter, form, book page, or printed page. The tool first enhances the image by increasing contrast and converting to grayscale, which dramatically improves text recognition accuracy on photos taken with a phone camera. Then the OCR engine reads all text and outputs it as clean, editable paragraphs. You can copy the text or download it as a .txt file.
This tool applies image preprocessing before OCR. Document photos often have uneven lighting, shadows, yellowed paper, and color noise that confuse basic text recognition. The preprocessing step removes color information, normalizes brightness, and enhances the contrast between text and background. This results in significantly better accuracy compared to running OCR directly on the raw photo, especially for phone camera images.
Yes, completely. Your document image never leaves your device. All image preprocessing and OCR processing happens locally in your browser. No data is sent to any server, stored in any database, or shared with anyone. This makes it safe for scanning sensitive documents like contracts, medical forms, legal papers, or personal correspondence.
Letters, forms, contracts, book pages, printed reports, invoices, and any document with typed or printed text. The tool works best on clearly printed text with reasonable contrast. Handwritten documents may have lower accuracy — try the Handwriting to Text tool for those. For best results, photograph the document flat on a surface with even lighting and minimal shadows across the text.
