Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded?
No. Recognition runs in your browser. Only the language data downloads the first time you use it.
How can I get better results?
Use a sharp, well-lit image with straight text. Crop out busy backgrounds and choose the right language.
Does it read handwriting?
Neat print usually works. Joined-up handwriting is hard for any OCR and may need correcting.
