Recognition runs in your browser and does not upload the image to a server for OCR. First use may load the OCR engine and language resources. This is better for sensitive content, but accuracy is usually lower than cloud OCR services that require upload, especially for long text, complex layouts, mixed text and images, and small fonts. Review important details manually.

FAQ
No. Interface language only changes the page display. OCR language controls how text in the image is recognized. This tool currently offers 8 OCR recognition languages, and mixed content can add one extra OCR language when needed.
Screenshots, scans, and clear front-facing photos usually work best, especially for printed text. Blur, skew, low contrast, glare, busy backgrounds, handwriting, and decorative fonts can all reduce quality.
This tool outputs plain text. Its goal is to extract readable text from the image, not to reconstruct the original layout, table structure, columns, or styling.
OCR quality depends on image clarity, text size, language selection, background interference, and text layout. Crop the text area, choose the right language, and manually verify important details.
Recognition runs in your browser and does not upload your image to a server for OCR. On first use, your browser may need to load OCR engine files and language resources. This local approach is better for privacy, but accuracy is usually lower than cloud OCR services that require upload. For sensitive content, use a trusted device and network, and review important details manually.
