Frequently asked questions
Which images work best?
Sharp, high-contrast images with straight printed text produce the best OCR results.
Does it support handwriting?
It may detect clear handwriting, but printed text is much more accurate.
Why does the first scan take longer?
The OCR engine and selected language model are downloaded on first use, then the browser can cache them.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Tesseract OCR runs locally in your browser.
