About this tool
OCR runs in your browser via the Tesseract.js engine; first use downloads language data; works best on clear, high-contrast printed text; handwriting and heavily stylized fonts may fail; the image never leaves the device. Upload a photo or scan, let the engine read it, and copy the extracted text for notes, quotes, or documents. Because everything runs locally, a receipt, page, or sign can be read without sending the image to a server.
Frequently asked questions
Does my image get uploaded?
No. Recognition runs in your browser, so the image never leaves the device.
Why did handwriting fail?
The engine is trained mainly for printed text, so handwriting and heavily stylized fonts are much harder to read reliably.
