How to use OCR Text Extractor — step by step
- 1Open the tool you want. Done — this page is saved in your browser, so it opens with no connection.
- 2Turn on airplane mode (optional).Anyone can claim a tool is private. Airplane mode is what proves it — with the connection off, there's nowhere for your file to go. Skip it and everything still works, but you won't have the added privacy protection of a 100% internet disconnect.Press the airplane-mode button on your own phone, tablet or laptop.The switch is on your device, not on this page. On some laptops and phones the airplane button leaves Wi-Fi or Bluetooth running — if the instrument still shows a connection, turn those off yourself. It reads Offline the moment the connection is really gone.
- 3Add a scan or photo that contains text.
- 4Let the tool read the text — this takes a few seconds the first time.
- 5Check the extracted text and fix anything the reader missed.
- 6Copy the text or download it as a file.
Auto-cleans and straightens your image, then reads text with a high-accuracy model — entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.
