FAQ

Questions about the OCR Image to Text Extractor.

Does OCR upload my document?

No. Recognition runs in a Web Worker on your device. The OCR engine downloads code and language data, not your image.

How can I improve OCR accuracy?

Use a sharp, straight image with readable text. Try high-contrast preparation for faint scans and grayscale for colored backgrounds.

Which languages are supported?

The interface currently includes English, Spanish, French, and German language models.

Can I download the recognized text?

Yes. You can edit the result and download it as a plain .txt file.
