# SharinPix Mobile App: Text Recognition on Scan (OCR)

It is possible to enable text recognition (OCR) during a scan using the SharinPix mobile app. This feature allows you to extract the text while scanning documents and images. The extracted text will be uploaded alongside the scanned document/image and will be accessible within your Salesforce organization.

This article demonstrates how to use the Text Recognition on Scan (OCR) feature.

For more information on how to enable this feature, refer to the following article: [SharinPix Mobile App: Deeplink syntax](/documentation/mobile-app/sharinpix-mobile-app-deeplink-syntax.md#ocr)

After [enabling the text recognition](/documentation/mobile-app/sharinpix-mobile-app-deeplink-syntax.md#ocr) feature, open the SharinPix mobile app and select the scan mode, as shown in the screenshot below:
