How to use it
- Copy a screenshot, then press Ctrl+V. You can also drop a PNG, JPG, or WebP file.
- Pick the language that is actually in the picture. The next page reads it on this device.
- Correct anything that looks wrong, then copy the text or download a .txt file.
What works best
Crop to the words and keep the screenshot sharp. A photo of a screen taken at an angle is harder to read than a direct capture. The first conversion downloads the recognition engine from the web. The screenshot itself is not sent anywhere.
Questions
Does the screenshot get uploaded?
No. Recognition runs in your browser. The first visit downloads the reader so later screenshots can be processed on this device.
Which languages can it read?
English, Arabic, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and Hindi. Choose the language that matches the picture.
Can I paste from the clipboard?
Yes. Click the page and press Ctrl+V, or use Choose image.
