Image to Text (OCR)

Extract Hebrew and English text from images or scans

Upload an image or screenshot and get the text out, including Hebrew, ready to copy or download as a TXT file. The engine recognizes Hebrew and English in the same image, and you can edit the result in the text box before copying. This saves you from retyping text from a photographed document, a screenshot of a message, a sign, or a brochure. The OCR engine runs entirely in your browser, so sensitive documents never leave your computer. A first-time engine download of about 15MB is required, and subsequent recognitions will start faster.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the recognition?

For clear images with printed text, the accuracy is very high. Handwriting, Hebrew vowel points, decorative fonts, and blurry photos reduce accuracy, so you should review the result.

Can I extract text from a PDF file?

This tool works on images only. Klix has a separate Text from PDF tool, or you can take a screenshot of the page and upload it here.

How do I improve Hebrew recognition?

A straight photo rather than an angled one, even lighting, and text that fills most of the image. Cropping the image to just the text area, without surrounding pictures or margins, improves the result more than anything else.

Which languages are supported?

Hebrew and English, even together in the same image. Other languages are not recognized properly here.

Is the image sent to a server?

No. The recognition is done in your browser. The only thing downloaded from the network the first time are the engine's language files, and the image itself is never sent.
