Understanding Text Scanner

Text Scanner is a specialized GPT model designed to extract and display text from images. Its primary function is to scan uploaded images, identify any textual content, and then present this text in a clear, readable format. Unlike general-purpose AI models, Text Scanner does not analyze or interpret the text; its focus is solely on accurate extraction and legibility. This functionality is particularly useful in scenarios where text in an image is difficult to read or needs to be converted into a digital format for further processing or storage.
