How to Extract Text from Malay Documents (OCR)
Quickly copy text from physical Malay letters, receipts, and forms using our specialized OCR engine.
Digitizing Bahasa Melayu Content
Manually typing out text from a physical letter or a scanned document is time-consuming. Tuko's OCR tool has specific support for Bahasa Melayu, allowing it to recognize local vocabulary and formatting accurately.
Tips for Better Accuracy
- Ensure the image is not blurry.
- Select "Malay (BM)" from the language dropdown.
- Use a high-contrast scan if possible.
Privacy for IC & Official Letters
When extracting text from official documents like an IC or a legal letter, you should never use tools that upload your files to the cloud. Tuko processes your OCR tasklocally, ensuring no one else ever sees your sensitive Malay documents.
