Turn Photos into Text, Word and Searchable PDFs

A single photo can go in several directions depending on what you need next. Choosing the right tool up front saves you from starting over — and for a photo taken in a hurry, one cleanup step before recognition can decide the quality of everything downstream.

Pick the destination by your next step

• Need the content to paste somewhere: recognise it as text, edit in place, then copy. The fastest of the five.
• Need to edit it like a document: export to Word (.docx) and open it in Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
• Need to send it with the original layout: export a standard A4 PDF with a REAL TEXT LAYER, so the recipient can still select, copy and search the text — unlike embedding a picture in a PDF.
• Photographed a table: extract it to an Excel file instead of retyping every row.
• The photo is blurry or dim: sharpen it first, then recognise.

Why sharpen before recognising?

Input quality drives output quality. Blur, poor lighting or tilt cause visually similar character pairs to be misread — and in accented languages, losing a single mark changes the meaning of a sentence. Boosting sharpness and contrast before recognition improves accuracy noticeably, especially for indoor phone photos.

Frequently asked questions

• Are my images stored? — Images go to the AI server for recognition and are deleted after processing; nothing is retained or used for training.
• Do accented characters survive? — Yes. The engine is tuned specifically for accented Vietnamese and other diacritic languages.
• Is a phone camera good enough? — Yes, as long as you shoot parallel to the page, in decent light, without your hand casting a shadow.
• Is there an image limit? — None. No signup, no watermarks, no daily cap.
