Why is the first run slower?

The OCR engine and language data download once, then stay cached.

Does it work offline?

After the first load, it can work with a weak connection.

Is the text saved anywhere?

No, it exists only in your browser until you copy or download it.

Image to Text Without Sign-Up – Free, Private OCR

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): The converter above needs no account and has no daily limit. The OCR engine (Tesseract) is loaded into your browser and reads the image on your own device, so the picture and the text are never sent to a server. That makes it suitable for receipts, letters and other private documents.
