TextDet: Image to Text OCR

TextDet turns any image with text into editable text, on your phone, and the image never leaves it. 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. The reading 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 • Live text: point the camera, tap any line on the screen to copy it, or press the shutter to keep it as a scan • 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 • Choose up to 20 images at once, or share several: each one becomes its own scan • Import a PDF page and extract its text • Long-press the TextDet icon for shortcuts: Scan, Photo, Gallery and Paste TWO OCR ENGINES, BOTH OFFLINE • Google's ML Kit, on the device, is the default. It reads five scripts: Latin, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean and Devanagari. Choose one in Settings or for a single scan. The five together cover the 37 languages Google lists as supported for its text recognition • PP-OCR, the open models from textdet.com, is the backup: it steps in when ML Kit finds no text and reads Latin and Chinese (6,174 Chinese characters) in one pass, strong on receipts and small print • Read any scan again with the other engine or in another script • Free, no daily limit, no watermark TEXT YOU CAN USE • Editable text that stays edited, saved as you type • Detection boxes over the image: tap a box to leave its line out or bring it back, or pick All or None • Pages set in columns are read column by column • URLs, email addresses and phone numbers become buttons: open, write, call • Listen: the system voices read the text aloud, one sentence at a time, offline • Export as a .txt or Markdown file, copy to the clipboard, or send through the share sheet TRICKY IMAGES, HANDLED • Light text on a dark background is inverted before it is read • A screenshot's status and navigation bars are left out of the text A LIBRARY THAT REMEMBERS • Every scan is kept on the phone with its text • Search finds any word in any scan, and any tag • Tag your scans, then filter the list from a row of tags • Sort by date or by title • Long-press to delete, share or tag several scans at once LIGHT AND DARK • TextDet follows your phone's theme, light or dark TEXTDET PRO Everything above stays free, forever.
