What is OCR Text Extractor?

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) Text Extractor is a powerful browser-based tool that converts images and multi-page scanned documents into editable text. Using the Tesseract.js engine with optional AI models (TrOCR), it recognizes text in 15+ languages. Features include batch processing for multiple files, per-page PDF results, and export to multiple formats (TXT, DOCX, searchable PDF).

Perfect for digitizing documents, extracting text from screenshots, processing scanned receipts in bulk, or converting image-based PDFs to searchable documents.
