Frequently asked questions

Is the OCR really free and private?

Yes. Recognition runs in your browser using a WebAssembly engine, so your images are processed locally and are never sent to any server.

Which image formats are supported?

Standard bitmaps such as JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP and WebP. For best results use a clear, upright, high-contrast scan or screenshot.

Can it read handwriting?

It is optimised for printed text. Neat block handwriting may work, but cursive and messy writing reduce accuracy.

Why is the first run a little slow?

The engine downloads its model the first time you recognise text. After that it is cached, so subsequent runs in the session are fast.
