The best way to convert image to text on my computer?
You can use online collaborative whiteboard tool like Miro. They are designed for teams to brainstorm, plan, and work visually. It's widely used for workshops, agile ceremonies, mind mapping, product design, and remote collaboration. The workspace is an infinite canvas where users can add sticky notes, shapes, images, diagrams, and even integrate with tools like Slack, Jira, or Google Drive.
One of Miro's underrated features is its OCR for sticky notes and uploaded images and it can used as an effective image to text converter across different platforms.
Step 1 : You can drag an image (like a photo of a whiteboard or screenshot) into Miro.
Step 2: Use the Sticky Note Capture feature → Miro detects handwriting or typed text and converts it into editable sticky notes.
Step 3: The recognized text can then be copied, rearranged, or exported.
This is especially useful for converting image to text if you've taken a photo of physical brainstorming sessions or meeting notes—you don’t need to manually retype them.
Pros:
- Great for turning messy photos of whiteboards or sticky notes into clean, editable text.
- Collaborative: team members can instantly edit and refine the captured notes.
- Cloud-based: no installation needed beyond a browser.
Cons:
- Requires an internet connection.
- OCR accuracy varies with handwriting clarity.
- Free plan limits some advanced features and board exports.
