About this tool

Turn Arabic text in a photo, scan or screenshot into editable text — right-to-left order preserved, with any English words in the same image read too. ScanText at scantext.net outputs right-to-left Arabic you can copy or save as TXT or DOCX. Upload a photo, paste a screenshot, or use the camera on mobile — no signup. Latin-only converters garble connected letters; this page uses ara+eng engines and Arabic post-processing. On-device OCR keeps contracts and IDs private — nothing is uploaded; for stamps and watermarks, crop to the text and boost contrast before scanning. Whether you digitize a فاتورة, a menu, or a classroom board, ScanText is a free path from صورة إلى نص at scantext.net. Works in any modern mobile or desktop browser with no extension to install — useful for contracts, government forms, and family letters written in Arabic that need a quick digital copy for translation or filing.
