Recognised text

Choose the button below to reveal the OCR result.

This is a fixed example. Open Workspace to use your own text or document.

Why it helps

Make a photo of text adjustable and readable.

A screenshot, worksheet photo or poster cannot usually be restyled. Workspace can recognise visible text on your device and place the result in an adjustable reader.

1

OCR runs locally in your browser after the language model downloads

3

Read the result aloud or adjust it like any other Workspace document

How to use the real tool

From your document to a readable result

  1. 01

    Open Workspace and choose Image

  2. 02

    Select the image and its language

  3. 03

    Check the recognised text, then read or save it locally

Know the limit: OCR accuracy depends on image quality, lighting, handwriting and layout. Always check important names, dates, dosage or instructions against the original.

Questions before you try it

Can it read handwriting?

It may recognise very clear handwriting, but it is designed mainly for printed text and should not be relied on for critical information.

Does my image leave my device?

The OCR step runs in your browser. Text is sent to Dyslexly only if you later choose a Pro assistant action.

Can it read a screenshot?

Yes. Clear screenshots with high-contrast printed text usually work better than blurry photographs.

Try it on a sample before you pay.

The reading workspace is free. Pro has a seven-day no-card trial, then £24.99/year.
