OCR (Text Recognition)
Converts scanned PDFs and images into selectable, searchable text.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my file uploaded to a server during OCR?
No. OCR runs directly in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device, so your content stays private.
Which file types and languages are supported?
You can OCR PDFs and images (JPG, PNG). English works out of the box; additional languages can be added in future updates.
How accurate is the text recognition?
Accuracy depends on image quality. Clear, high-resolution scans with good contrast produce the best results. Handwritten text is less accurate than printed text.
Why is OCR taking so long?
OCR is computationally intensive. Processing time depends on your device's power, the number of pages, and image complexity. The first run may be slower as the OCR engine loads.
Can I OCR a multi-page PDF?
Yes! The tool will process all pages in your PDF. Longer documents will take more time, but you can extract text from the entire document at once.
