Questions people ask

Is this OCR tool free?

Yes, completely free with no signup and no limit on how many images you can read.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The OCR engine runs inside your browser, so the image stays on your device.

Why is some text wrong?

OCR depends on image quality. Sharp, well lit, straight images with clear fonts give the best results. Handwriting and very small text are the hardest.

Can it read other languages?

It reads English and numbers by default. Open the language options to pick French, Spanish, Portuguese or Arabic.
