How Does the AI Image to Text Converter Work?
1️⃣ First, the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) algorithm scans the image and extracts the rough text content.
2️⃣ Then, it rearranges the text into the right sequence and, if necessary, fills in information it could have missed if the original file was low quality. This process works with 98% accuracy.
3️⃣ Finally, it does a light editing pass to correct spelling mistakes, punctuation, and grammar.
You’re then left with an accurate text which also gets automatically spell-checked.
