FAQ
Questions, answered.
Does OCR run on my device?
Yes — the entire OCR pipeline (tesseract.js) executes in your browser. Your document never touches a server.
Why is confidence important?
Confidence estimates how sure the OCR engine is about the recognized text. Values above 80% usually indicate clean scans; lower values suggest a higher-DPI rescan may help.
Can I OCR non-Latin scripts?
Yes — Hindi (Devanagari), Arabic, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), and Korean are supported alongside all major European languages.
