FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract text from an image?
Upload your image (a photo, screenshot or scan), choose the language, and click Extract text. The tool reads the text using OCR and shows it in an editable box you can copy or download as a .txt file.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The text is recognised entirely in your browser. Your image never leaves your device. Only the OCR engine and the language data download once from a CDN, then run locally.
Which languages are supported?
English and Hindi, plus a combined English + Hindi mode for mixed documents. The first run for each language downloads its recognition data, which is then cached for next time.
Why is some text wrong or missing?
OCR accuracy depends on the image. Clear, high-contrast, straight (not skewed) text in good lighting works best. Handwriting, low resolution, heavy backgrounds, or unusual fonts are harder. Crop to just the text and try again for better results.
Does it work on screenshots and PDFs?
It works great on screenshots and photos of text. For PDFs, first convert the page to an image (use our PDF to Image tool), then run it through this OCR tool.
