Privacy & security
All processing happens on your device using WebAssembly. Images never leave your browser, making this a safe choice for sensitive documents.
Troubleshooting & accuracy tips
- Use sharp, high‑contrast images (300+ DPI scans work best).
- Crop out borders/backgrounds and rotate the page upright.
- Choose the correct language(s) for mixed‑script documents.
- Avoid heavy compression (prefer PNG over low‑quality JPG).
Frequently asked questions
Does this upload my images?
No. OCR runs locally in your browser with Tesseract.js. Your files never leave your device.
Can it read PDFs?
Export each PDF page as an image (PNG/JPG) and add them here. Support for direct PDF import can be added later.
Which languages are supported?
English, Hindi, Spanish, French by default—and you can add more by including their language codes and trained data.
Is there a file size limit?
Your browser memory is the practical limit. For huge scans, process in batches.
Why is accuracy low?
Low‑resolution or blurry images reduce accuracy. Try higher DPI, correct lighting, and choose the right language pack.
