OCR text from image
What this tool does
This tool reads text from images or PDF documents. You provide a link to the file, and the platform extracts the words written on it. This is useful for turning scanned invoices, receipts, or forms into editable text.
Important note: In our current testing, the platform reports that this tool is not functioning (success is always false, result is always false). This means the text is not being extracted at this time.
Common uses
- Turning a picture of a receipt into plain text
- Reading the content of a scanned invoice
- Extracting data from filled-out forms
Good to know
- Works with both image files and PDFs
- Needs a direct link to the file
