Send a picture and copy its text
- Open @image_to_text_free_bot.Its operator links this exact handle. Press Start and choose your interface language if prompted.
- Send one clear image.Use the practice download below if you want something with known answers.
- Copy the returned words.The operator also describes TXT, Word and PDF downloads. Start with ordinary text if you only need to paste a paragraph elsewhere.
This is the operator's documented workflow. We have not submitted the practice image to the bot or measured its accuracy.
A small image with four details to check
The picture is an original fictional notice, not an OCR result. The important details are:
- B-108 is the event reference, with a letter B, not the number 8.
- The start time is Tuesday at 10:30 am.
- There are 20 places.
- Registration closes Friday at 5 pm, or earlier if all places are filled.
Copying “Friday at 5 pm” but losing the early-closing condition changes the notice. Check meaning as well as whether the words look tidy.
Does a PDF count as one free image?
No. The operator lists five free images per month and counts each PDF page as one credit. A three-page PDF uses three page credits; a 12-page scan does not fit a fresh five-image allowance. Its published upload ceiling is 100 pages and 20 MB. The ceiling is not a promise of free processing.
Check the balance shown in the bot. A summary is another operation and can use additional credit, so get the text right before requesting one.
Fix the input before trying again
- Glare hides letters: photograph the page again with the light at a different angle.
- Tiny text is garbled: use the original image or a closer crop instead of an enlarged thumbnail.
- A table's columns are mixed: compare each number with its row label. Extract a smaller section if necessary.
- Only a code is wrong: correct it against the picture. Another full-document run may not be useful.
If you can already select and copy clean text from your PDF, skip OCR. Move to questions about the document or a short text summary.
Feature and allowance source: the Image to Text operator, checked October 28, 2026. The exercise is ours; it does not establish the provider's output quality.
