How can I extract text from an image on my computer?
Great question indeed. Another free image to text converter is Google Keep.
Google Keep is a free note-taking app from Google that works in your browser, on Android, and on iOS. It lets you quickly save text notes, to-do lists, voice memos, and even images. One lesser-known but very useful feature is that it can perform OCR on images you upload, meaning it can extract the text inside a picture and turn it into editable text.
How to Extract Text from an Image Free
1. Open Google Keep in your browser and sign in with your Google account.
2. Click “Take a note” and then use the image upload icon to add your picture.
3. Once the image is uploaded into the note, click on the three-dot menu (More options).
4. Select “Grab image text”. The text from the image will appear in your note, right below the picture. You can then copy, edit, or export it.
It's an easy and free way to extract text from photos without installing any extra apps on Windows.
