About PicText - Picture To Text
Turn any picture or PDF into text in seconds. Point PicText at a page, a receipt, a sign or a screenshot: you get clean text you can copy and edit, read it in 100+ languages, and ask questions about it. No account, no sign-up. FIVE TOOLS IN ONE APP • EXTRACT TEXT Get the text from any picture: the camera, your photo library, or pages out of a PDF. On Image draws every word back onto the photo, so you select a line right where it sits. Text Only gives you plain text in a sheet, ready to copy. • TRANSLATE Read anything in your language, 100+ of them. On Image paints the translation onto the page itself, in the page's own ink and paper. Tap a paragraph to see the printed words next to their full translation, or hold a button to compare with the original. Text Only gives you the translated page as plain text. • AI COMMANDS Ask anything about a picture. Sum it up, pull out the numbers, list the key points, or rewrite it your way. Use a built-in command or save your own, on one picture or several at once. The answer writes itself in as it arrives. • PDF TO TEXT Open any PDF and get its text page by page. A faded scan or a photo of a page has an Enhance button: tap it for our most accurate reading of that page. • PDF SCANNER Pages in, one PDF out. Scan with the camera, add photos, or take pages out of a PDF. Reorder them, turn them, drop the ones you do not need. The result is a searchable PDF: its words can be found and copied like typed text. CLEAN NOTES, OR EXACTLY AS WRITTEN Text Only results come back as tidy notes with headings and bullet points. One tap gives you the exact text instead, word for word, handwriting included. Flip between the two whenever you like. EVERY RESULT COMES WITH MORE • Copy, edit, share, or have it read out loud • Phone numbers, emails, links, addresses and dates become one-tap actions: call, write, open, map it, or add it to your calendar • Export as plain text, rich text, notes, or a clean PDF. A translated page also exports as a translated PDF, a side-by-side PDF with the original, or a picture of the page • History keeps your recent results. Switch it off or clear it any time in Settings MADE FOR Students, travelers, and anyone who works with paper: a textbook page turned into notes, a menu read in your language, the numbers off a receipt, a long PDF turned into text. WHY PICTEXT • Five tools, one app, one clean screen • Translations you read on the page, not in a wall of text • Read any PDF, and turn paper into a searchable PDF • Share a picture from any app, start from Control Center, ask Siri or use a shortcut • Light and dark, in your language, built for iPhone and iPad HOW IT WORKS 1.
