Question 1

What is OCR?

Accepted Answer

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is technology that detects and extracts text from images, scanned documents, and photos.

Question 2

Which languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

The tool uses Tesseract.js which supports English and many other languages. For best results, use clear, high-contrast images with English text.

Question 3

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. OCR processing runs entirely in your browser using Tesseract.js (WebAssembly). Your images never leave your device.

Clear, high-resolution images with good contrast between text and background produce the best OCR results. Blurry or low-contrast images may produce errors.
