Frequently asked questions
Is the image sent to an OCR service?
No. Recognition runs in a worker in your browser using engine files hosted on this site.
How accurate is it?
It depends on image clarity. Always proofread — the tool lists low-confidence words to help.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Every tool works without sign-up or login.
Is it safe for confidential documents?
