Step 1: Choose the Right OCR Tool

Not all OCR tools support the Khmer language, so be sure to pick one that does. Some reliable options include:

• Google Drive + Google Docs: Upload the image to Google Drive, right-click, and open with Google Docs. It will extract text, including Khmer.
• Tesseract OCR: An open-source OCR engine that supports Khmer (you may need to install the Khmer language pack).
• Online OCR services: Websites like i2OCR or Convertio support Khmer and are easy to use.

Step 2: Prepare the Image

Make sure your image is clear, high-resolution, and has good lighting. Text should not be blurry or distorted.

Step 3: Upload and Convert

Upload the image to your chosen tool. The OCR process will begin and within seconds, you’ll see the extracted text. Review it carefully, as Khmer OCR may sometimes misread characters.

Step 4: Edit and Save

Once extracted, you can copy, edit, or save the Khmer text in your preferred format (Word, PDF, or plain text).

Final Tip

For best results, use typed Khmer text rather than handwritten, as recognition accuracy is much higher with standard fonts.
