OCR Tool — Extract Text from Any Image or Scanned Document
Take a photo of a whiteboard, upload a scanned page, or paste an image URL — Geleza's AI OCR extracts all readable text in seconds. Supports printed text, handwriting, multiple languages, and complex layouts including tables and columns.
What is OCR?
OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. It's the technology that reads text from images. Traditional OCR systems struggle with poor image quality, unusual fonts, and handwriting. Geleza uses AI-powered OCR that accurately handles real-world conditions — photos taken at an angle, low light, cursive handwriting, and mixed languages.
Practical Uses for Students
Photograph your textbook pages and extract text for searchable notes. Digitize handwritten lecture notes. Extract text from screenshots of websites that disable copy-paste. Scan physical forms and convert them to editable documents. Process research paper PDFs that are image-based (not searchable).
Supports Tables and Complex Layouts
Many OCR tools jumble text from tables and multi-column layouts. Geleza's AI preserves structure — extracting table rows and columns as organized text, and maintaining reading order in multi-column documents like newspapers and academic journals.
