GrabText

GrabText is an AI-powered OCR tool that converts handwritten notes, printed text, and math equations captured in photos, scans, or PDFs into editable digital text. A notable feature is its support for math and handwriting recognition output in LaTeX format, aimed at students and researchers who need to turn a photographed equation into typesettable code rather than a plain string of characters. The service works entirely in the browser: users upload or paste an image and receive extracted text without installing software. According to the provider, uploaded files are processed and then automatically deleted rather than stored, presented as a privacy measure for users scanning personal notes or documents. It supports recognition across multiple languages in addition to English. GrabText offers a free trial that does not require a credit card, though the site does not publish detailed paid-tier pricing or usage limits beyond the trial. A further limitation is that, like most OCR tools, accuracy on messy handwriting or low-quality scans is not independently benchmarked, so results for difficult source material may vary.
