Choose a source tool for plain text or a workflow tool for searchable PDFs, image text extraction, handwriting, invoices, forms, document comparison, charts, source-quality checks, and business cards.
Each route has a distinct input, review method, and output. Use the Image Translator when words trapped inside a photo, scan, sign, label, or graphic need to become editable text. Use the practical OCR guide library when capture quality, layout, confidence, accessibility, or privacy affects the result. The OCR methodology explains how recognition, local diagnostics, and exports work.

| Long scanned PDF | Long PDF OCR | Weak pages and page transitions | Markdown plus JSON |
| Printed grid or data table | Table to Markdown | Headers, blanks, decimals, merged cells | Reviewed Markdown |
| Equation or formula image | Formula Image to LaTeX | Grouping, indices, similar symbols | LaTeX or Markdown |
| Mixed English and Chinese | English and Chinese OCR | Names, character forms, reading order | TXT or Markdown |
| App or website capture | Screenshot to Text | Small UI text, mixed panels | TXT |
| Lossless document image | PNG to Text | Transparent backgrounds, scaling | JSON or TXT |
