FAQ
OCR questions answered
Everything you need to know about extracting text from images.
How accurate is the text recognition?
Accuracy depends on image quality. Clear, high-contrast text typically achieves 95%+ accuracy. Blurry or low-resolution images may have lower accuracy.
What languages are supported?
We support English and Russian by default. The OCR engine (Tesseract.js) can recognize many other languages with varying accuracy.
Can it read handwriting?
OCR works best with printed text. Handwriting recognition is possible but accuracy varies significantly based on legibility.
Is my data private?
Yes, 100% private. All OCR processing happens locally in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server.
What image formats work?
JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, and most common image formats. Higher resolution images produce better results.
Why does it take time to process?
The OCR engine needs to load language data and analyze the image. First use takes longer due to initial download. Subsequent uses are faster.
Need to compress images too?
Reduce file size up to 90% before sharing scanned documents.
