Extract the text
Run OCR on a screenshot, scan, or file with a local engine.
Feature
After OCR, the converter turns results into Markdown, HTML, Word, or PDF. Conversion happens inside the app, so the workflow never leaves your desktop.
Pick the format after OCR, not in a separate tool.
| Format | Best for |
|---|---|
| Markdown | Docs, notes, and repositories where plain text with structure matters. |
| HTML | Web publishing and quick preview in any browser. |
| Word (DOCX) | Editing and collaboration in office suites. |
| Archiving and sharing with fixed layout. |
