Copy text from a screenshot or photo

No retyping: drop the picture and the words become text you can copy.

Open Image to text

Steps

  1. Drop the picture into Image to text (or paste it with Ctrl+V). The first time, the reader is fetched once its size is shown (about 6 MB; for Japanese about 19 MB).
  2. The text appears in the box below; fix any slip right there.
  3. Lines cut by the screen width come back together with “Join each paragraph”.
  4. Copy it or save it as text, or hand it straight to Translate, Chat or Find.
