TIFF to Text

About TIFF to Text · বিস্তারিত

TIFF to Text reads the printed words in a scanned TIFF image with Tesseract OCR and gives them back as plain text you can copy or save as a .txt file. Recognition runs in your browser and is set up for English and Bangla together.

Office scanners and fax software often save pages as TIFF, which looks fine on screen but cannot be searched or edited. Optical character recognition (OCR) looks at the shapes of the letters and turns them back into text you can paste into Word, an email or a spreadsheet.

The tool uses Tesseract.js with the English and Bangla language packs loaded at the same time, so a letter that mixes both scripts is read in one pass. The first run downloads the OCR engine and language data (around 10 MB) from shomoy.io and the browser keeps them cached, so later pages start faster. A page usually takes 20 to 60 seconds, depending on your device.

When it helps · কখন কাজে লাগে

Retyping old office letters

A scanned circular or notice from the office archive can be turned into editable text instead of being typed out again by hand.

Quoting from a scanned source

Students who received a TIFF of a book chapter or journal page can lift a paragraph for notes, then check it against the image.

Searching faxed documents

Fax-to-email services often deliver TIFF attachments; extracting the text lets you search for a name, date or invoice number.
