Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work on scanned PDFs?

Yes — that's exactly what OCR is for. Scanned PDFs contain images of text. Our Tesseract-powered engine recognizes characters in those images and extracts them as real text.

Is my document uploaded to a server?

No. The OCR engine (Tesseract.js) runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device.

How accurate is the OCR?

Tesseract achieves 95%+ accuracy on clean, high-resolution scans. Accuracy may be lower for low-quality scans, unusual fonts, or handwriting.

Can I process handwritten text?

Tesseract can handle some handwriting, but results vary. For best results with handwriting, ensure the scan is high resolution and the writing is clear and consistent.
