How accurate is the OCR?

Accuracy depends on the source quality. Clean, high-resolution scans of printed text typically achieve 95%+ accuracy. Handwritten text, low-resolution images, and unusual fonts may produce more errors. The editable output lets you correct mistakes.

What file formats are supported?

The tool supports JPG, PNG, and scanned PDF files. For best results, use high-resolution images (300 DPI or higher) with clear, printed text on a white background.

Can the OCR handle handwritten text?

OCR accuracy for handwritten text is significantly lower than for printed text. The tool works best with typed or printed documents. Handwritten notes may produce unreliable results.

Is my document sent to a server for OCR processing?

No. The OCR engine runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your documents are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy for sensitive scanned materials.

Can I extract text from a multi-page PDF?

Yes. The tool processes each page of the PDF and extracts text from all pages. The output combines text from all pages in order, with page breaks indicated.
