Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the text extraction?
Accuracy is high for clear, well-lit text and good scans. Blurry photos or unusual fonts may need a cleaner image for best results.
Which languages are supported?
English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch, selectable before you run it.
Can it read a scanned PDF?
Yes. Each PDF page is rendered and read, and the text is combined into one result.
Is my image uploaded for OCR?
No. The recognition engine downloads once and then runs entirely in your browser, so your images stay private.
