About OCR Text Cleaner
Use OCR Text Cleaner to clean up messy OCR output, fixing common scanning errors and odd line breaks without spending an hour rewriting the same sentence in five different ways. You paste in raw text from an OCR tool, the tool returns a cleaner version with fewer errors, and you decide what to keep. It works well for anyone working with scanned documents or screenshots who already know what they want to say but want a sharper starting point. The output is editable on purpose. Tweak the wording, swap a word, or rerun with a slightly different brief until the result feels right.

Frequently asked questions
Does it run OCR itself?
No. Use your OCR tool first (built-in to many phones and scanners), then paste the noisy text here to clean it up.
How accurate is the cleanup?
It fixes common errors well, but some words may still need a human check, especially for names, codes, and numbers. Compare the result to the source when accuracy matters.
Can it translate?
No, it focuses on cleaning the same language. Use a dedicated translator for languages.
Does it preserve formatting?
Basic paragraph structure usually comes through. Tables and complex layouts may need manual adjustment.
Is the text private?
Your input is sent to the configured AI provider. Avoid pasting scans that contain personal data such as IDs, bank details, or medical records.
