Frequently Asked Questions
What is OCR?
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is technology that recognizes and extracts text from images. It converts images containing text into editable, searchable text. Our tool uses advanced AI to recognize text in photos, scanned documents, and screenshots. This makes it possible to digitize printed documents, extract text from photos, and make image text searchable and editable.
How accurate is the OCR?
OCR accuracy depends on image quality, text clarity, and language selection. High-resolution images with clear, well-lit text typically achieve 90-95% accuracy. Lower quality images or handwritten text may have lower accuracy. Selecting the correct language significantly improves recognition accuracy. For best results, use high-quality images with good contrast between text and background.
What languages are supported?
Our OCR tool supports 100+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Russian, and many more. Select the language of your text for best results. Multi-language documents may require processing in sections with different language settings.
Can I extract text from handwritten images?
Yes, the tool can recognize handwritten text, though accuracy may be lower than printed text. Clear, legible handwriting works best. Very cursive or unclear handwriting may have reduced accuracy. For best results, use clear, well-lit images of handwritten text with good contrast. Printed text generally produces more accurate results than handwriting.
