Open Screenshot to TextUse chat OCR carefully
WhatsApp screenshots can contain private messages, phone numbers, names, profile pictures, and group details. Crop to the specific message or instruction you need before using OCR.
Only process screenshots you have a legitimate reason to use. A chat screenshot can reveal more context than a normal document.
Useful examples
OCR can help copy a delivery address, event instruction, order note, school announcement, or payment reference from a screenshot into a cleaner note.
For long conversations, process smaller sections. It is easier to review two short outputs than one cluttered block of chat text.
Review message details
Check phone numbers, amounts, times, dates, and addresses. These are often the reason you used OCR in the first place, so do not trust them blindly.
Emojis, stickers, and message bubbles may be ignored or misread. OCR is for text, not full chat reconstruction.
