Photos of documents, screenshots, and signs work best when the text is sharp and well lit.
Extract English text from screenshots, scans, and clear printed photos with Squeeze OCR. Upload an image that contains readable text; Squeeze runs optical character recognition on the server and returns plain text you can copy or download as a .txt file—handy for notes, receipts, slides, and documents you only have as images.
Use a sharp screenshot, scan, or photo where printed English text is easy to read.
Squeeze reads characters on the server (Tesseract English) and rebuilds document structure — questions, options, columns, and tables — as editable text.
Skim the result for accuracy—clear, high-contrast prints typically perform best.
Copy to the clipboard or save a text file for notes, docs, or search later.
