How to use this tool

How to use

Choose or drop an image, select Japanese or English, and start recognition. Japanese mode also recognizes Latin letters. Review the editable result before copying it or saving a text file.

When it helps

Useful for extracting passages from scanned documents and screenshots. Clear, upright images work best. Handwriting, complex tables and unusual fonts may produce errors, so check names and numbers carefully.

How it works

Tesseract runs in a Web Worker on your device. Language files are downloaded on first use, but your image is not uploaded. Progress is shown while you wait, and processing can be cancelled.
