How It Works: Image to Text Converter

The Image to Text Converter is a simple tool that allows you to extract text from an image and display it in just a few easy steps. Whether you’re working with a scanned document, a photo of handwritten notes, or an image with printed text, this tool can help you quickly convert the text in the image into editable text.

Step-by-Step Guide on How to Use the Converter:

How It Works:

• ✔ Drag & Drop: When an image is dragged into the drop area, the file is automatically uploaded and processed.
• ✔ Paste Image: Users can paste an image from their clipboard (e.g., a screenshot or image from the web) directly into the tool.
• ✔ Upload Button: The traditional method of uploading via the file input works as expected.
• ✔ OCR: Tesseract.js processes the image to extract the text and displays the result.

1. Upload Your Image:

   • To get started, click the “Upload Image” button on the page. This will open a file selection dialog where you can choose an image file (JPG, PNG, or GIF) from your device. The image should contain text that you want to extract.

2. Wait for Text Recognition:

   • After uploading, the tool will automatically start the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) process, which reads the text from your image. This may take a few seconds depending on the size and quality of the image.
   • During this process, you’ll see a progress bar that shows how much of the text recognition has been completed. The progress bar helps you know how far along the tool is in processing your image.

3. View Extracted Text:

   • Once the OCR process is finished, the text from the image will be displayed in the text output box. You can copy, edit, or use this text as needed.
   • If no text is found in the image, you will see a message saying, “No text found in the image.”

4. Error Handling:

   • In case there’s an issue with processing the image (e.g., the image is too complex or unclear), an error message will appear, letting you know what went wrong.

How It Works Behind the Scenes:

• OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is the technology that makes this possible. It’s a process where the software analyzes the image, detects text regions, and then converts the detected text into digital characters.
• We use Tesseract.js, an open-source OCR engine, to perform the text recognition. This powerful engine can handle various fonts and layouts, making it perfect for converting printed and handwritten text into editable formats.
