Frequently asked questions

Does it work with handwriting?

Printed text works well; handwriting is unreliable. For best results use a scan or screenshot with at least 12 px text height.

Why is the first run slow?

The recognition engine and the English language model (~6 MB total) download once, then your browser caches them.

Is my image uploaded for OCR?

No. Recognition happens locally with Tesseract.js compiled to WebAssembly.
