Image to text and screenshot to text

Give it image links (png, jpg, tiff, bmp, webp, gif) and get the printed text in each one.

Run it on the Apify Store

The job

Paste image or screenshot URLs and get one row per image with the text, Tesseract's confidence, and a status that tells you why when nothing was read. Languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch, alone or combined. Ask for lines to get each line with its position, or markdown for paragraphs.

Example input

{
  "files": ["https://example.com/screenshot.png"],
  "languages": ["eng", "deu"],
  "outputFormats": ["text", "lines"]
}

Example output

{
  "source": "https://example.com/screenshot.png",
  "page": 1,
  "status": "ok",
  "confidence": 0.91,
  "language": "eng+deu",
  "text": "..."
}

Good to know

• It is OCR, not vision: it reads printed text, not handwriting, diagrams or photos of scenes.
• Textless images come back as no_text rows, not errors; they still use a little compute.
• Up to 100 MB and 60 megapixels per image.
