Prompt-only Custom GPT by KikuAI Studio

What you provide

  • A photo, screenshot, scan, poster, sign, or menu
  • One image or a small batch of images
  • An optional request to keep a specific layout or extract text only

What you should get

  • Plain text in the visible reading order
  • Headings, line breaks, labels, punctuation, and capitalization when readable
  • [unclear] and [illegible] markers where the source does not support an exact reading

Use it for a narrow task.

  • Copy text from a screenshot without retyping it
  • Transcribe a photographed notice or sign
  • Preserve the structure of a scanned page
  • Extract mixed-language text without normalizing visible characters

Illustrative input

A photographed opening-hours sign with one line too blurred to read exactly.

Illustrative format only. This is not a claimed runtime or benchmark result.

Limits that matter

  • It does not reconstruct covered, cropped, or unreadable words from context.
  • It does not describe or summarize the picture unless you ask after transcription.
  • Low resolution, glare, blur, and extreme perspective can limit what is readable.
  • The page documents the prompt contract. It is not an accuracy guarantee for every image.

Privacy boundary

The image is sent to ChatGPT for processing. Crop or redact faces, identifiers, account details, and other private content before uploading when they are not needed for transcription.

Try one of these prompts.

  1. 01Extract all visible text from this image.
  2. 02Keep the headings, line breaks, and reading order.
  3. 03Transcribe this screenshot and mark anything unclear.
  4. 04Extract only the text - no summary.

Questions before you open it.

Can it extract text from a screenshot?

Yes. Screenshots are a core input. The prompt tells the GPT to preserve reading order and visible structure rather than summarize the screen.

What happens when a word cannot be read?

The output should mark the uncertain span as [unclear] or the fully unreadable span as [illegible] instead of filling it from context.

Does it work with several languages?

The prompt supports mixed-language text and asks the GPT to preserve the visible characters. Results still depend on image quality and ChatGPT vision support.

Is this the same as a standalone OCR API?

No. It is a prompt-only Custom GPT that runs inside ChatGPT. It does not expose an API or a separate file-processing service.
