OCR

Extract text from images and documents

VLTRON's OCR (Optical Character Recognition) feature extracts text from images and scanned documents.

How It Works

  1. Upload an image or document containing text
  2. VLTRON automatically detects and extracts the text
  3. The extracted text is available in the conversation
  4. You can ask VLTRON to process or analyze the extracted text

What You Can Extract

  • Screenshots: Text from computer or phone screenshots
  • Photos: Text from photos of documents, signs, or labels
  • Scanned Documents: Text from scanned PDFs or images
  • Handwriting: Text from handwritten notes (when legible)
  • Tables: Structured data from tables in images

How to Use

Upload an Image

  1. Click the attachment button in the chat
  2. Select an image containing text
  3. Ask VLTRON to extract the text

Example Prompts

  • "Extract all the text from this image"
  • "What does this sign say?"
  • "Read the text in this screenshot"
  • "Convert this table image to text"

Tips

  • Clear images: Higher quality images produce better results
  • Good lighting: Well-lit images are easier to read
  • Straight angles: Photos taken straight-on work better
  • Ask for formatting: "Extract this table as a CSV" or "Format this as a list"

Supported Formats

  • PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP (images)
  • PDF (scanned documents)
  • BMP, TIFF (additional image formats)
