Frequently Asked Questions
What is OCR?
OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition — a method that converts text in images into editable, searchable text you can copy and paste.
Which language codes can I use?
Use Tesseract language codes such as eng (English), por (Portuguese), spa (Spanish), fra (French), deu (German), and many others.
Can I use photos from my phone?
Yes. Any supported image file (JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP) can be uploaded and processed in the browser.
Why is the extracted text inaccurate?
OCR accuracy depends on image quality. For best results, use high-resolution images with clear contrast and minimal skew. Blurry photos, handwriting, and decorative fonts may reduce accuracy.
