What is TXT (OCR) ?

TXT (OCR) is not a format of its own. What you download is an ordinary .txt file that opens in any editor. OCR names the step that produced it: the letters in your image are recognised and written out as plain text — the words and their order, with no fonts, colours, images or layout kept.
