OCR – image to text online – free
Have a picture of a document or a scanned PDF you can't copy text from? OCR (optical character recognition) recognizes the letters and turns them into text you can edit, copy or save as .txt or .docx. Croatian and English are supported. Recognition runs in your browser; language data is downloaded the first time, so it can take a while.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is OCR?
Well-scanned, straight, high-contrast text is recognized very accurately. Handwriting and poor photos give weaker results, so always proofread the text.
Why is the first run slower?
Your browser downloads language data for recognition. It is cached afterwards.
