How to use OCR

  2. The OCR engine processes it on your device.
  3. Review the extracted text.
  4. Copy it to use anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Is my image uploaded for OCR?

No. Recognition runs locally in your browser. The engine downloads once, then everything happens on your device.

Which languages and text work best?

It recognizes English and handles clear printed text best. Handwriting and low-quality or skewed scans are harder.

Why is the first scan slower?

The first run downloads the OCR engine and language data once; later scans are faster.
