ScanText extracts text from photos, screenshots, and scans right in your browser — nothing gets uploaded to a server. Most "free" OCR tools quietly send your image somewhere before processing it; this one doesn't, by design. Drop an image, watch it scan, copy or download the result in seconds. No sign-up, no file limits. Supports English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Italian. Built for anyone who wants quick text extraction without handing over their files.
Hey everyone 👋
I built ScanText after getting annoyed that most "free" OCR tools either want you to sign up or quietly upload your image to their servers before processing it. This one runs entirely in your browser — your image never leaves your device.
Would love feedback, especially on:
- accuracy across different image types (screenshots vs. photos vs. scans)
- any languages you'd want added beyond the current 6
- anything confusing in the flow
Happy to answer anything in the comments today!
