Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the text extraction?
Accuracy depends heavily on image quality — clean photos of printed text in good lighting work best. Stylized graphics, posters, or handwriting are much harder for any OCR engine, not just this one. We automatically clean up (contrast, sharpen) each image first to improve results.
What languages are supported?
Over 25, including English, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Urdu, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Japanese, Korean, and major European languages.
Can I scan multiple images at once?
Yes — select a batch, and you'll get one combined text file with each image's results clearly labeled.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The image itself never leaves your browser. The OCR engine's language files (public, generic files, not your data) download once from a CDN the first time you use a new language, but nothing about your image or its content is ever sent anywhere.
