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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Copy or Send to Grammar Check — Copy the extracted text to your clipboard with one click, or send it directly to the Grammar Check tool for spelling and grammar corrections.

  • PDF — Digital & scanned
  • PNG — Screenshots & photos

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.
