OCR on iPhone

Extract text from photos directly in Safari - no app download needed. Just open JustScanText, select a photo from your library, and get the text. Works on iPhone and iPad.

No App Required

Unlike OCR apps that take up storage and may collect data, JustScanText runs entirely in Safari. Your photos are processed on-device - they're never uploaded anywhere.
