FAQ

Is the image uploaded?
No. The OCR engine and language model run in the browser after download.
Why is the first run slower?
The selected OCR language data must be downloaded once.
How can I improve accuracy?
Use a sharp, upright, evenly lit image and try high contrast for dark text on a light background.
Does it recognize handwriting?
It may recognize neat handwriting, but it is optimized for printed text.
Can it export Excel?
This tool exports plain text. Structured table recognition will be a separate workflow.
