When OCR helps
OCR (optical character recognition) is useful for digitizing printed notes, extracting text from screenshots, or pulling text out of a scanned form without retyping it.
Multi-language support
RookImg's Image to Text tool supports English, Tamil and Hindi recognition, so you're not limited to Latin-script documents.
Tips for better accuracy
Clear, well-lit photos with minimal skew give the best results. Straighten the image and avoid heavy shadows across the text before running OCR.
