OCR Tool FAQ
What is OCR?
OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. It's a technology that converts different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, PDF files or images captured by a digital camera into editable and searchable data.
Is my data secure?
Yes, 100%. This tool uses Tesseract.js to perform OCR directly in your web browser. Your images are never uploaded to a server, ensuring your data remains completely private.
What makes for a good image for OCR?
For best results, use a high-resolution image with clear, well-lit text that is horizontally aligned. Blurry images or text at an angle may result in lower accuracy.
