Maltese OCR: Turn Handwritten Latin Script into Editable Text
Maltese uses the special letters ċ, ġ, ħ and ż plus the digraph għ that ordinary OCR often misses. That is exactly what our **Maltese OCR** is built for — it turns photos and scans of Latin script into editable Maltese text you can copy, correct and download.

Made for the way Maltese is actually written across Malta.
Made for Latin script
This is not a generic reader. It knows the quirks of Latin script, which is why maltese special-letter recognition works as well as it does.
Photos and PDFs both work
Snap a picture or drop in a multi-page PDF. We pull the Maltese text out of notes, letters and official documents.
Edit before you export
