Stop Typing, Start Extracting
Turn screenshots, documents, and photos into editable text instantly.
We’ve all been there: you have a photo of a restaurant menu, a screenshot of a Zoom presentation, or a picture of a page from a book, and you need that text in a document. Manually retyping it is tedious, slow, and prone to errors.
Our Extract Text Mode at Image Description Generator solves this problem by stripping away the visual clutter and giving you exactly what you need: the words.
What is "Extract Text Mode"?
Unlike our other modes that describe the "what" and "how" of an image, this mode is a specialized utility tool. It follows a strict, no-nonsense command:
"Extract just the text from the image and send that in the response, and do not otherwise describe the image."
This means if you upload a picture of a stop sign, the AI won't say "A red octagonal sign." It will simply return the word: STOP.
3 Ways Extract Text Mode Saves You Time
1. Business & Data Entry
Need to get info from a business card into your contacts? Or perhaps you have a physical invoice you need to digitize? Instead of squinting and typing, just snap a photo and let Extract Text Mode do the heavy lifting for you.
2. Student & Research Efficiency
When you're studying, you often find valuable information in textbooks or printed handouts. Use this mode to quickly pull quotes and paragraphs directly into your study notes or citations without breaking your flow.
3. Capturing "Locked" Information
Some websites prevent you from copying text, and many PDF documents are "image-only." By taking a screenshot and running it through our generator, you can unlock that text and make it editable, searchable, and useful.
Simple vs. Extract Text: A Quick Comparison
| Feature | Simple Mode | Extract Text Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Output | A description of the scene | The literal text found in the image |
| Ideal Content | Landscapes, people, objects | Documents, signs, screenshots |
| Goal | Visual understanding | Data conversion & utility |
Tips for Perfect Extraction
To ensure 100% accuracy when pulling text from your images, follow these simple guidelines:
- Avoid Extreme Angles: Try to take the photo directly in front of the text rather than at an angle to prevent distortion.
- Good Contrast: Dark text on a light background (or vice versa) yields the best results. Make sure the text is well-lit and in focus.
