What is Tamil OCR?
Tamil OCR reads Tamil text inside images and converts it into editable text you can copy, search, and reuse. It is useful for screenshots, scanned documents, newspapers, books, and government forms in Tamil where the text is not selectable. OLOCR runs recognition in your browser, so your image stays on your device.
