How to use this tool

Convert a screenshot or clear photo of printed English text into editable text. Sarvam Tools runs bundled Tesseract OCR on its server, without sending the image to an external AI API.

  1. Choose an image with readable printed English text.
  2. Run OCR and wait for recognition to finish.
  3. Review the extracted text against the image, then copy or download it.

Example to try

Use a straight, well-lit image of a printed paragraph. Crop unrelated surroundings before uploading for a clearer source.

Supported use and limits

Recognition depends on image quality, layout and font. This tool targets printed English; handwriting, complex tables and other languages may not be recognized reliably.

Can I extract text directly from a PDF here?

The OCR tool takes an image. First export the required page with PDF to PNG, then upload that PNG here. Check the text manually, especially names, numbers and punctuation.
