How to Convert HEIC to Word

HEIC (High-Efficiency Image Format) is commonly used by Apple devices to store images efficiently without taking up too much space. However, working with HEIC files on non-Apple devices can be challenging, especially when you need to extract text from them. Manually typing out text from images is time-consuming and not always accurate.

Handwriting OCR simplifies this process by allowing you to convert HEIC images directly into Word documents. Whether you have handwritten notes, printed text, or scanned documents in HEIC format, this guide will show you how to convert them into editable Word files quickly and easily.

Tips for Best Results

Use Clear Images

Proper Alignment

Choose the Right Settings
