Answers

Frequently asked questions

Is OCR always accurate?

No. OCR can misread characters, columns, low-contrast text, small fonts, and handwriting. Proofread the result before using it.

Is my image uploaded for OCR?

The recognition task runs in your browser. The OCR worker and selected language model are downloaded from a CDN, but the image is processed locally.
