Frequently asked questions
What does the image text extractor return?
It returns clean, copyable plain text. Line and paragraph breaks are reconstructed where the image layout makes them clear.
Does it preserve the original image layout?
No. The result is plain text, not a visual copy of the image. Some line and paragraph breaks may be reconstructed, but fonts, columns, tables and exact positioning are not preserved. Use Image to Word when you need an editable document.
Which languages and images work best?
Clear printed English and Chinese text is the most reliable. Mixed scripts, handwriting, low contrast and stylized text may need manual review.
Can it read stylized or colored text?
Some stylized or colored text can be recognized, but extreme stylization or very low contrast reduces accuracy.
