Look for a safe image to text converter for extracting text from pictures
You're looking to convert images to text, right? I’ve done this a bunch of times myself, and honestly. First off, you need some good OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tools. There are a bunch of free options out there that work pretty well:
1. Online OCR Websites:
Just upload your image, and they spit out the text.
Some popular ones are online0cr,net, ocr,space, or converti0,co.
They’re super easy—drag, drop, and copy the text.
2. Google Keep:
If you’re into Google stuff, this is a hidden gem.
Upload your image to Google Keep, then click on the image, and choose “Grab image text”. It’ll do the OCR for you, and you can copy the text straight from there.
3. Mobile Apps:
If you’re on your phone, apps like Adobe Scan, Microsoft Office Lens, or Google Lens are free and work like a charm.
Just take a picture or upload one, and they’ll extract the text quickly.
4. Desktop Software:
If you prefer offline stuff, Tesseract OCR (free and open-source) is the way to go. It’s a bit techy, but once set up, it’s pretty powerful.
From my experience, something about images to text, the key is making sure your image is clear—good lighting, straight, and not blurry. That makes the OCR process much more accurate.
