Questions and answers
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The OCR engine (Tesseract) runs inside your browser, so the picture and the text never leave your device.
How do I get the best results?
Use a sharp, straight photo with good light and dark text on a light background. Crop out everything that is not text.
Can it read handwriting?
Only very neat block letters. OCR is made for printed text; handwriting usually comes out with many mistakes.
Can I convert the text to Word?
Copy the text and paste it into Word or Google Docs. The layout (columns, tables) is not kept, only the text.
