Keep OCR Search

What This Does

Keep's OCR indexes text in images—handwritten notes, whiteboards, and receipt photos become searchable.

Why It's Useful

Snapping a whiteboard photo is fast; losing the content is common. OCR makes photos first-class notes.

How to Do It

  1. Add an image to a Keep note (camera or upload)
  2. Wait for processing—text becomes searchable
  3. Search Keep for a word visible in the photo
  4. Works best with clear, well-lit images

Try This Now

Photograph or upload text and search for a word in the image.

Mental Hook: Photo becomes searchable text.
