Free online OCR for Kannada

Retyping a printed page or a screenshot by hand is slow, especially in Kannada. Our free image to text converter uses optical character recognition (OCR) to turn the letters in your picture into editable Unicode text that you can paste into Word, WhatsApp, email or any website.

The tool reads Kannada in the Kannada script – vowel signs and joined letters included – and can then translate the result into English and other languages. It is powered by Tesseract, a well-known open-source OCR engine, and runs entirely in your browser, so your documents stay private: the image is never sent to our server.

How to convert an image to text

  1. Drag and drop a JPG, PNG or WEBP image, click to browse, paste a screenshot with Ctrl + V, or take a photo on your phone.
  2. Wait a few seconds while the text is recognised – the progress bar shows each step.
  3. Check and correct the text, then copy it, download it as a .txt file, or open it in the Kannada keyboard.

Tips for the best accuracy

OCR works best on clear, printed text. Use good lighting, hold the camera straight above the page and crop away anything that is not text. Blurry photos, tiny or decorative fonts and handwriting reduce accuracy, so always check the result.

Frequently asked questions

Is this Kannada image to text converter free?

Yes. It is completely free, with no sign-up and no limit on the number of images.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Recognition runs in your browser with Tesseract.js, so your image never leaves your device. Only the Kannada language data is downloaded the first time.

Which language does it read?

This page reads Kannada text written in the Kannada script. To read another language, choose it from the Languages menu at the top. After conversion you can translate the text into English and other languages with one click.

How can I get better results?

Use a sharp, well-lit photo or scan with straight text that fills the frame. Printed text works much better than handwriting.
