Frequently Asked Questions
The Scan to Text tool uses OCR technology to extract readable text from images uploaded by the user. It's perfect for digitizing documents, screenshots, and photos containing text.
You upload an image file from your Linux device, and the OCR tool extracts text. The resulting text can be copied, downloaded, or saved to Evernote.
You can upload images in formats like JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, WebP, TIFF, and more. Each file should be up to 100 MB in size.
Yes, you can download the extracted text as a plain text file. Note that no formatting or layout is preserved.
Yes, the tool can recognize handwritten text, but accuracy may vary depending on handwriting clarity.
While you can upload multiple images, they are processed one by one. The extracted text is then combined into a single output.
No, the tool only processes image files. Convert PDF pages to images or take screenshots to use the tool.
Extracted text can be saved in a file your C program can read. Use standard file I/O functions to process the text further.
Yes, the OCR tool automatically preprocesses to handle rotated images correctly.
