OCR FAQ

Are source images uploaded?

No. Recognition runs in the browser, although the open-source language model may be downloaded the first time it is used.

How can accuracy be improved?

Choose the correct language and use clear, straight, high-contrast images or scans.

Does it recognize handwriting?

Tesseract is optimized for printed text, so handwriting accuracy is usually lower.
