Frequently Asked Questions

What languages does the OCR support?

We currently support English, Arabic, French and Spanish. Select the language of your image text for the most accurate extraction.

Does it work with handwritten text?

OCR works best with printed text. Handwriting recognition is possible but accuracy varies significantly based on writing clarity.

Why is text extraction slow?

Tesseract.js downloads a language model (2-5MB) on first use and processes images locally. This takes 15-30 seconds. Subsequent extractions are faster.

What image quality gives the best results?

High contrast images with clear, sharp text give the best results. Minimum 300 DPI for scanned documents. Avoid blurry, skewed or very small text.
