Turn your images into text – effortlessly

The power of image-to-text conversion

Have you ever needed to extract information from a supplier agreement but couldn’t because it was a PDF? Or spent time manually typing details from an invoice? These small, repetitive tasks add up – taking valuable time away from more important work.

Image-to-text conversion, using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology, transforms static documents like images into searchable, editable text in seconds. Instead of retyping everything manually, businesses can automate text extraction with precision and efficiency.

Why businesses need image-to-text

Organizations regularly deal with image-based text in various forms:

  • Scanned contracts requiring modifications

  • Invoices and receipts that need to be processed for accounting

  • Customer-submitted documents that require quick responses

  • Handwritten notes from meetings that must be digitized

Manually converting these files is time-consuming and prone to errors. OCR automates this process—ensuring accuracy and efficiency while reducing workload. Industry research shows that OCR can reduce document processing times by up to 75%, while businesses using automated data extraction tools spend 40% fewer hours on paperwork.

How OCR works

OCR technology scans an image, recognizes patterns that resemble letters, and converts them into machine-readable text. Modern OCR solutions like ours use AI to improve accuracy, even for handwritten text or scanned documents with imperfections.

From hours to minutes: The time-saving power of OCR

Companies that process large volumes of documents stand to benefit the most from OCR automation. For example, Opyn Market, a healthcare software company, implemented OCR to streamline its invoice processing. What once took 40 hours per week was reduced to just 45 minutes, saving them $40,000 annually.

A study by AIIM found that OCR can reduce document processing times by up to 75%, while businesses using automated data extraction tools spend 40% fewer hours on paperwork.
