Learn about image-to-text conversion
OCR technology helps businesses process documents more efficiently by converting images, PDFs, and handwritten notes into searchable text. If you’re looking for more details on how image-to-text conversion works, we’ve put together a short guide covering common use cases and benefits.

Why Zendesk agents love the OCR Scanner
Customer service agents shared their real-world challenges—we listened:
Manual data entry drains productivity: Downloading, opening, and manually typing complex information is time-consuming and error-prone.
Non-searchable attachments create obstacles: Without OCR, finding information in attachments is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Delayed first response times: Hidden attachment data prevents agents from acting immediately, slowing responses and creating inefficiencies.
Escalating costs per ticket: Agents can spend up to 20 minutes per attachment, significantly increasing ticket resolution costs.
Multilingual: Works in 150+ languages, including Arabic, Norwegian, and Japanese.

How exactly does OCR improve our first response time?
The moment a ticket is created, our OCR springs into action, automatically extracting vital information from attachments. This means your agents can start crafting responses immediately, without the delay of manual document processing.
Are there apps that usefully complement the OCR scanner?
Yes, these features work together effectively:
- Ticket Export and Archive saves storage costs by exporting tickets as PDFs. The OCR Reader can then bring them back into Zendesk for direct use.
- AI Autofill scans tickets and attachments, including images. Using image-to-text conversion first ensures all data is ready for AI processing.
