Frequently asked questions

Is my image sent anywhere?

No. Recognition runs in your browser with Tesseract.js. Only the language data (about 10 MB) is downloaded on first use; the image never leaves your device.

How can I improve accuracy?

Use a flat, well-lit, high-resolution image; straighten skewed pages first. Handwriting is not supported.

Is there a limit for PDFs?

The first 5 pages of a PDF are read; split longer documents first.
