Overview

Have some text on images that you can't copy? Tired of re-typing tables from PDFs? Local Lens is a free, offline OCR tool that lets you quickly extract text from images.

➤ Key features:
- "Fast" mode for basic printed text and "Thinking" mode for tables and math equations.
- Easy to use and customize.
- No ads, no login, no data selling.

➤ How it works:
Local Lens uses optical character recognition models to analyze pixel data and identify text. Once the text is extracted, you can copy it to the clipboard and paste it into your workspace.
