Welsh OCR: Turn Handwritten Latin Script into Editable Text
Welsh uses the to-bach circumflex (â, ê, î, ô, û, ŵ, ŷ) and digraphs like ll, dd and ff that stand for single sounds. That is exactly what our **Welsh OCR** is built for — it turns photos and scans of Latin script into editable Welsh text you can copy, correct and download.

Reads real Welsh handwriting
Welsh uses the to-bach circumflex (â, ê, î, ô, û, ŵ, ŷ) and digraphs like ll, dd and ff that stand for single sounds. We tuned it on everyday Welsh penmanship — not just tidy print — so casual and rushed writing still comes through.
Made for Latin script
This is not a generic reader. It knows the quirks of Latin script, which is why welsh circumflex and digraph 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 Welsh text out of notes, letters and official documents.
Edit before you export
The result lands in an editable box, so you can fix anything the AI misread and then copy or download it — no extra steps.
