Frequently asked questions
How can I get the best results?
Use sharp, well-lit images where the text is straight and fills most of the picture. Screenshots work best; photos of pages should be taken from directly above.
Does it read handwriting?
Neat printed handwriting sometimes works, but the OCR is made for printed text. Cursive handwriting is usually not recognized.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Text recognition (Tesseract) runs in your browser, and the language data comes from this site.
