What it does
Image To Text is a Telegram bot that extracts text from images and PDFs using OCR. Instead of retyping what you see in a photo or a scanned page, you send the file to the bot and it replies with clean, editable text in seconds. You can copy it straight into a chat, a note or a document, or download it as a .txt file.
It works entirely inside Telegram, so there is nothing to install and no account to create.

Behind the app
Image To Text focuses on doing one thing well: fast, free OCR inside Telegram with a clean text reply and an optional .txt download. It is an independent bot built on Telegram's Bot API and is not affiliated with Telegram.
