Camera OCR Keyboard is a keyboard that types what your camera sees.
Need to copy a Wi-Fi password from a router, a serial number from a label, an address from a letter or a paragraph from a book? Open the keyboard in any app, tap "Scan text with camera", take a picture and tap the words you want. They are typed straight into the text field — no screenshots, no copy and paste, no switching apps.
HOW IT WORKS
• Switch to Camera OCR Keyboard from your usual keyboard with the 🌐 key
• Tap "Scan text with camera" — the preview opens right inside the keyboard
• Pinch to zoom and tap to focus, then press the shutter
• Tap the recognized words or lines on the photo in the order you want, then "Insert"
• Or switch to the list view and tap a line to insert it immediately
• Switch back to your normal keyboard with 🌐 at any time

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Text recognition runs entirely on your phone

• No ads, no analytics, no account
Android shows a standard warning when you enable any third-party keyboard. Camera OCR Keyboard only types the text you choose from the camera and never records your typing.
Camera OCR Keyboard works alongside your favorite keyboard: use it when you need to capture text, then switch back with one tap.
Point your camera at printed text and type it into any app. Works offline.
