Frequently asked questions

Which languages are supported?

This tool recognizes English (eng) text. It works best on clear, high-contrast images.

Why is the first run slow?

The first run downloads the OCR language model to your device. After that it is cached and runs offline.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Recognition happens entirely in your browser; your image never leaves your device.
