Extract Tamil Text from Images & PDFs
Powered by Google Cloud Vision, our OCR engine accurately reads printed and handwritten Tamil text from photos, scanned documents, and PDF files.
How to Use
- Upload Your File — Drag and drop an image or PDF into the upload area, or click "Browse Files" to select from your device. On mobile, you can also take a photo directly.
- Automatic Processing — Our intelligent OCR pipeline analyzes your file and automatically selects the best extraction method — PDF text parsing for digital PDFs, or Google Cloud Vision for scanned documents and images.
- Compare & Review — View the extracted Tamil text side-by-side with the original image. Check the text against the source to verify accuracy before copying.

Tips for Best Results
- Use high-resolution images (300 DPI or above) for the best OCR accuracy.
- Crop the image to include only the text area — remove unnecessary borders and backgrounds.
- Ensure good contrast between text and background. Avoid shadows and glare.
- Printed Tamil text yields higher accuracy than handwritten text.
- Keep files under 4 MB. Compress large scans and PDFs before uploading.
