Image to Text (OCR)

Q: Are my images uploaded?

No. OCR runs entirely in your browser, so your images never leave your device.

Q: Which languages are supported?

English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Arabic.

Q: Why is the first run slow?

The recognition engine and the chosen language data are downloaded once on first use, then cached for next time.

Q: Does it work on handwriting?

It works best on clear printed text. Handwriting and low-quality or blurry images give lower accuracy.
