Frequently asked questions

Is this OCR tool free, and does my image get uploaded to a server?

Yes, it's completely free with no signup. Text recognition runs with an open-source OCR engine loaded directly in your browser tab, so your image is never uploaded to a server.

Why does changing the language take a moment the first time?

Each language has its own trained-data file, roughly 2-15MB depending on the language, that downloads the first time you use it and is then cached in your browser for instant reuse afterward.

How accurate is the extracted text?

Accuracy is good on clear, well-lit, horizontally aligned text but drops noticeably on low-resolution photos, tilted angles, or handwritten notes; for those cases, paid cloud OCR services often perform better.
