OCR

Turn images into text you can actually use.

Capture pages, slides, screenshots, and documents from the camera or your photo library. OCR turns the text into editable, searchable content inside your notes.

Turn images into text you can actually use.

Once recognized text is in a note, it can be edited, searched, combined with other material, and selected for AI-assisted work like the rest of your knowledge.

HOW IT WORKS

From input to reusable knowledge.

OCR is an input method for MemoFlow’s knowledge workspace: an image becomes editable text inside a note rather than an isolated scan.

01

Photograph a page or choose an image

02

Recognize it: standard on your device, or advanced in the cloud for complex layouts

03

Correct and structure the editable result

04

Search it or use the note as context for MemoFlow AI

Camera or photo library

Start with the camera or an existing photo.

Standard on-device or advanced cloud recognition

Standard recognition runs on supported devices. Advanced recognition uploads the image to the cloud, and you confirm that before first use.

Editable result

Edit and format the result after capture.

Good to know: Clear, upright, well-lit printed text usually works best. Advanced recognition is built to keep headings, lists, and tables as editable blocks, but results vary by document and always need review; handwriting and IDs are not guaranteed to be fully recognized.
Standard OCR recognizes printed text on the device; starting it needs an online Credits authorization (1 Credit per image on Basic, free on Plus and Pro). Advanced OCR uploads the image to the cloud for complex layouts and costs 2 Credits per image on every plan. Review and correct the draft before keeping it as a note. Korean is not in the current standard-mode language list.
OCR LANGUAGES

Printed text in 47 languages

In standard mode, one on-device model reads all of these, so there is no language to pick: photograph the page and the recognised text comes back in the script it was written in. Advanced (cloud) recognition is a separate mode and its languages are not listed here.
