Extract text from photos, screenshots and scans with OCR.
Upload a photo, screenshot or scan and pick the language of the text. Tabreon reads it with Tesseract, an open-source OCR engine running in your browser, and gives you plain text to copy or download. The engine and language data load from Tabreon the first time and are cached; the image itself is never uploaded.
Runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded; your input never leaves your device. How it works
Quick answer
Upload a photo, screenshot or scan, choose its language, and Tabreon reads the text out of it with OCR so you can copy it or download it as a .txt file. Recognition runs in your browser and the image is never uploaded.
OCR (optical character recognition) finds letters in a picture and turns them into real text you can edit, search and copy. It works best on clear, straight, well-lit text such as screenshots and scanned pages. Handwriting, stylised fonts and blurry photos are much harder and produce more mistakes.
Recognition runs in your browser using Tesseract, an open-source OCR engine, compiled to WebAssembly. The engine and language data are served from Tabreon and cached by your browser; the image itself never leaves your device.
