About This Feature
Overview
Image to Text in WPS Presentation is used to recognize text in an image and turn it into text that you can copy, edit, or insert into the current slide.
Core tasks include:
- Extract text from an image: open the Extract Text page from a selected picture and start text recognition.
- Edit and adjust the image: rotate the image, correct tilted content, clear selected recognition areas, or manually choose a recognition area.
- Manage images and results: add multiple images, clear the image list, switch between images, and edit, copy, or insert the recognized text into the current document.
Common use cases include class screenshots, poster copy, and photographed notes that need to become editable text in a presentation.

| Capability Summary | In WPS Presentation, you can select an image, open the Extract Text page, choose recognition areas, edit results, copy text, and insert it into the current document. | Microsoft documents describe OCR support for embedded images in Microsoft 365 Office files in SharePoint, where extracted text is indexed for search and related workflows. | Google’s official ecosystem shows image-to-text workflows mainly through Google Docs add-ons or document conversion paths rather than a same-path presentation workflow. | Notion officially shows AI-based image text extraction that can place extracted text into a page. | Adobe officially provides OCR workflows for extracting text from images, often through Acrobat or image-to-PDF workflows. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to extract text from pictures while staying inside a presentation workflow, WPS offers a more direct path for recognition, editing, copying, and inserting results into the current slide. Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe also provide OCR-related capabilities, but their official workflows are more centered on cloud indexing, document add-ons, AI pages, or PDF tools.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main pain point | How it helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Extract text from class screenshots | Teachers and trainers | Screenshot text cannot be edited directly | Use Extract Text, then copy or insert the result into the current document |
| 2 | Reuse poster copy | Marketing and office users | Poster text has to be typed again manually | Recognize the text and paste it into slides |
| 3 | Fix tilted photo content | Students and office users | Tilted images can affect recognition results | Correct or rotate the image before recognition |
| 4 | Recognize only part of an image | Users who need partial extraction | Only one area of the image is needed | Use Select Recognition Area to mark the needed part |
| 5 | Review results from multiple images | Users processing several images | Switching between images takes time | Add images, switch pages, and review results in one place |
