What is OCR and how does it work?
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is AI technology that reads text from images. Our tool uses Tesseract.js, a powerful open-source OCR engine that runs entirely inside your browser, making it completely private. Your images are never sent to any server.
What types of images work best for OCR?
OCR works best on clear, high-contrast images where text is sharp and readable. Scanned documents, screenshots, and well-lit photos of printed text give the most accurate results. Avoid blurry, low-light, or handwritten text images for best accuracy.
