Frequently asked questions
- Are my images uploaded to a server?
- No. The text recognition runs entirely inside your browser, so your photos and scans never leave your device.
- Which languages are supported?
- English, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian and more. Pick the language that matches your image for the best accuracy.
- What kind of images work best?
- Clear, straight, well-lit text works best — screenshots, typed documents and clean scans. Very blurry, slanted or handwritten text is harder to read accurately.
- Can I extract text from several images at once?
- Yes. Add multiple images and they’ll all be read in turn, with each file’s text labelled in the result.
