Image to Text (OCR)

OCR text recognition that runs entirely in your browser — your image is never uploaded to a server. Supports English and 12 Indian languages.

Text recognition (OCR) runs entirely in your browser — your image is never uploaded. Pick a language before running if your image has Hindi or another Indian script mixed with English. The first run in a given language downloads a small recognition engine, cached after that; later runs are much faster.

Frequently Asked Questions

No — text recognition happens entirely in your browser. The image never leaves your device.

The first run downloads the recognition engine your browser needs — a one-time cost. Your browser caches it, so later runs are much faster.

Very good on clear, well-lit printed text; accuracy drops on handwriting, low resolution, or heavily stylized fonts, the same limits any OCR engine has.

Yes — choose a language (or an Indian-language + English combination, since most real documents mix scripts) from the dropdown before running. Each language downloads its own small recognition engine on first use, cached after that.

Use the dedicated Indian Document OCR tool instead — it recognizes text the same way but also pulls out structured fields like the ID number and date of birth for those document types.
