TextDet: Image to Text OCR

Nornworks

About this app

TextDet turns any image with text into editable text, on your phone, with nothing uploaded.

Point the camera at a receipt, a page of a book, a sign, a whiteboard or a screenshot. TextDet finds the text, reads it, and gives you plain text you can edit, copy and share. Everything happens on the device: no account, no upload, no internet needed.

IMAGE TO TEXT, ANY WAY YOU LIKE
• Scan document: automatic edge detection and straightening, powered by Google's on-device scanner
• Take photo, with a crop you can adjust by dragging a corner or a whole side
• Choose image from your gallery, paste an image, or share an image to TextDet from any app
• Import a PDF page and extract its text

TEXT YOU CAN USE
• Editable text that stays edited, saved as you type
• Detection boxes over the image so you can see what was read
• Copy to the clipboard or send through the share sheet
• Read again with the second engine when a scan is difficult

A LIBRARY THAT REMEMBERS
• Every scan is kept on the phone with its text
• Search finds any word in any scan
• Rename, edit, delete; nothing leaves the device

TWO OCR ENGINES, BOTH OFFLINE
• PP-OCR, the open text-detection models from textdet.com, reads Latin and CJK scripts and is strong on receipts and small print
• Google ML Kit as the fast alternative for Latin text
• Free, no daily limit, no watermark

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Nothing is collected. Images and text stay on your phone
• No ads, no account, no tracking
• The only permission is the camera, and only when you use it

Works as a text scanner, photo to text converter, screenshot to text tool, OCR scanner and scan-to-text app. Convert JPG or PNG to text, copy text from a picture, extract text from a receipt or a page: one app, offline.

From the makers of textdet.com, the open text-detection reference.
