Frequently Asked Questions
What languages are supported?
English, Hindi, Spanish, French, German, Chinese (Simplified), Arabic, Portuguese, and Japanese. More languages can be added on request.
How accurate is the OCR?
Accuracy depends on image quality and font clarity. Printed text in good lighting with a clean background achieves 95%+ accuracy. Handwriting or low-resolution images may be less accurate.
Why is the first use slow?
The first run downloads the OCR engine (~7MB) and the selected language model (~4-20MB). These are cached in your browser so subsequent uses are much faster.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The Tesseract OCR engine runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your image never leaves your device.
Can it read handwriting?
Tesseract is optimized for printed text. Handwriting recognition is limited and may produce poor results.
