Screenshots and documentation
Your team shares hundreds of screenshots in Slack every week. Error messages, UI states, config files. OCR search lets you find them by typing what's on screen.
Memes and social content
Memes are images with text overlaid. Traditional image search can't read the text. OCR search can. Search "how it started vs how it's going" and find every variation.
Signs, labels, and real-world text
Street signs, product labels, menus, business cards. Any photo that captured text in the real world becomes searchable by what that text says.
Scanned documents
Receipts, invoices, contracts, handwritten notes. If it was photographed or scanned and contains text, OCR search makes it findable by what it says.
Insert images. Search by what they say.
Step 1
Insert your images
Upload images via the API. Vecstore automatically detects and extracts any text in the image.
Step 2
Text is indexed
The extracted text is indexed and made searchable alongside the image. No manual tagging or metadata needed.
Step 3
Search by text content
Query with any text string. Vecstore returns images that contain matching text, ranked by relevance.
