FAQ: PDF OCR
How accurate is it?
Accuracy depends on the quality of your scan. Clear, high-resolution scans with standard fonts produce excellent results. Blurry images or handwriting are difficult to recognize.
Is it private?
Yes! Unlike many other OCR sites, we process the recognition entirely in your browser. Your sensitive scanned documents are never sent to a server.
Does it support other languages?
Currently, we have optimized the tool for English documents to ensure fast loading times.
