Search a small text collection locally

Add up to 20 text records and enter a query. The search compares normalized text, including accent and case normalization, and shows the matching records. It works on the text you enter rather than searching a phone library or uploading screenshots.

A match tells you which supplied record contains matching normalized text. It does not identify the source image, recover text that was never extracted, or prove that two records describe the same thing.

Check the original wording

Normalization can help match café with cafe, but it can also remove distinctions that matter in a particular language or identifier. Read the original matching record before drawing a conclusion.
