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. The first run 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.
