Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the text extraction?

Accuracy depends on image clarity — sharp, well-lit, high-contrast text works best.

Which languages are supported?

English and French are available in this menu; the underlying engine supports many more.

Can it read handwriting?

It's built for printed text; handwriting recognition is much less reliable.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No — recognition runs locally in your browser.
