Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded?
No. Recognition runs locally with Tesseract.js (WebAssembly) in your browser.
Does OCR need an internet connection?
Yes on first use - the OCR engine and language data (a few MB) are downloaded once, then cached by your browser.
Which languages are supported?
English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Arabic, Simplified Chinese and Japanese.
Is the text always perfect?
No. Accuracy depends on image quality. Clean, high-contrast scans work best.
