Frequently Asked Questions

Over 100 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Russian, and many more.

Accuracy depends on image quality. Clear, high-contrast text achieves 95%+ accuracy. Blurry or low-resolution images may have more errors.

PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, and WebP images are supported. PDF files require the PDF OCR tool instead.

The OCR engine (about 15MB) downloads once and is cached. Subsequent uses are much faster.

Tesseract works best with printed text. Handwriting recognition has limited accuracy, especially for cursive styles.

Text in photos works if it's reasonably clear. Signs, labels, and printed text in photos can be extracted.

Use high-resolution images with good contrast. Crop to just the text area. Select the correct language for non-English text.

Currently one image at a time. For batch processing, process each image sequentially or use dedicated OCR software.
