How to extract text from images or PDFs

Don’t spend time retyping text from a digital document or image – Toqan can extract it using optical character recognition (OCR).

OCR is a process in which an AI tool like Toqan can extract words from a digital image.

If you take a picture of your handwritten notes and upload it into Toqan, it should be able to extract the text, depending on how messy your handwriting is.

It can do the same with scanned PDFs, screenshots of interesting articles or extracts from documents you’re reading. You don’t have to retype – just upload the image into Toqan and ask it to extract the text.

Simply use the prompt: Extract the text. Toqan will give you the copy in an editable format.
