How the Image OCR Works

Our OCR tool uses Tesseract.js, a powerful JavaScript implementation of the Tesseract OCR engine. It runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly technology, processing images locally without uploading them anywhere.

Multi-Language Support

Extract text in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and more. The language data is downloaded on first use and cached for faster subsequent scans.

Best Practices

For best results, use clear images with good contrast. Scanned documents, screenshots, and photos of printed text work well. Handwritten text recognition is limited.
