Frequently asked questions
- Are my images uploaded to a server?
- No — recognition runs in your browser using Tesseract compiled to WebAssembly. Your image never leaves your device; only the OCR engine and language data are downloaded.
- Which languages are supported?
- 15 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Hindi, Swahili, Chinese, Japanese and Korean — pick the language before dropping your image.
- Why is my result inaccurate?
- OCR quality depends on the source: sharp, high-contrast, horizontal text works best. Screenshots recognize nearly perfectly; skewed or low-light photos may need a retake.
