How to Copy Instagram Stories Text

Copying text from Instagram Stories is a little more complex. After all, content published as a story is always an image or video. Depending on the reason for which you want to copy the text, there are simple alternatives that can also work well and meet your needs.

Through OCR Technology

OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. This technology is capable of extracting textual content from photos and, sometimes, even interpreting and translating it, if necessary.

It is worth noting that formatting, that is, font type and color, most of the time, cannot be replicated. Only textual content. Some sites do this for free, like the ones listed below.

• Online OCR
• New OCR
• OCR Space
• Convertio

All the tools listed above work very similarly. For example, we use Online OCR, which allows you to copy the text directly from the website, without having to download any files. Here’s how to use it.

1. Access the Instagram Story you want to save and snap or screenshot it on the screen. To hide elements such as the profile of the publisher and the comment field, touch and hold the screen before taking the capture
2. Now open the site to the OCR service of your choice. In our example, we use the Online OCR. Tap Archive to upload the image
3. Select Files to use the image stored in the screenshot folder of your smartphone
4. Choose the language in which the text to be converted is. Tap on English and search for the desired language in the list. You can still select English to convert it to English language.
5. Next, decide the format in which you want the file to be converted. You can choose .docx , .xlsx or .txt
6. Finally, click on Convert.

The converted content will be displayed in a text box on the website itself. Copy and paste the text wherever you want.
