How to extract text from an image with your Samsung mobile
Samsung Gallery Image to Text
The free Android
Samsung offers the possibility to recognize the text of a photo to extract it and copy it to the clipboard so you can paste it in a message, in a document or other application as plain text. It is done as follows:
- Open the Gallery.
- Tap an image containing text.
- Click on the image to text button, bottom right.
- Copy your text and paste it where you want.
If a word is cut in half because the photo doesn’t cover more text, it will convert it directly, showing the three or four letters that appear cut off, so, in this case, you will have to complete the word later.

When you copy an image with words in multiple columns, like in this ticket, it will first copy the left column, from top to bottom, then the one on the right, which somewhat clashes with this type of text.
In case the text looks perfect, from start to finish it will copy it completely, jumping to the next line in the same word that appears in the image from which the text was extracted.
