Select the image you want to convert to speech and click "Open".

Letters are recognized from the image and converted to speech through Ondoku.

The recognized letters are displayed in the text box.

Letter recognition function is not always 100% accurate. If there is any error, you can correct it here.

Range of image recognition

"All letters in the image" will be scanned and recognized. 

Therefore, when uploading an image, be sure to capture only the part of the image you want to read aloud.

Handwriting also works, though the accuracy will slightly decrease. 

In addition, the accuracy of recognition depends on the characters.

For example, in the example "tegaki (handwriting)" in the image comes with "tesuki (handmade)." This is probably because the writing is unclear.

Another good example is the ¥ mark found on receipt. This is often confused with "半 (half, in kanji)".

Let's try it

Did you feel complicated? No, not at all. 

Seeing is believing, just give it a try.

This function can of course be used from a PC or smartphone.

Of course, you can also use it for free. Please note that the count you can use depends on the plan.

The function to get speech from images is surprisingly more convenient than you imagine.

In your real life, it makes true difference in your recognition and understanding to actually hear the contents of documents or materials from ear, using the image to speech function of Ondoku. 

You can easily check the documents that once you gave up and put aside, by converting them from images to voice.

Please give it a try. You'll be surprised at how easy it is to use.

We are looking forward to seeing you at Ondoku website.
