An image to text converter is a type of software or tool that is designed to extract textual information from images. The process of converting an image to text is also known as optical character recognition (OCR).
The image to text converter typically works by analyzing the pixels in the image and identifying patterns and shapes that resemble letters, numbers, and other characters. It then translates these patterns into digital text that can be edited, searched, and stored like any other text.
OCR technology has come a long way in recent years, and many image to text converters are now highly accurate, able to recognize even handwritten text and complex fonts. This technology is used in a wide range of applications, from digitizing paper documents to extracting text from images on the web.
- Some common examples of image to text converters include Adobe Acrobat's OCR feature, Google Drive's OCR function, and various standalone OCR software products.
