FAQ
- Is my image uploaded to a server?
- No. Text recognition runs entirely in your browser using an offline OCR engine. Your image is never uploaded anywhere.
- Is there a limit on how many images I can process?
- No. Process as many images as you like, with no daily limit.
- Why is it slow the first time?
- The first run downloads the OCR language data to your browser. After that, results come back faster since the engine is cached.
- What languages does it support?
- This tool is set up for English text. Handwriting and heavily stylized fonts are less reliable than clean printed or typed text.
