# 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.

**Note:**

The Text Recognition functionality is disabled by default.
