Questions
How accurate is it?
Clear printed text and screenshots come out very well. Blurry, tilted or handwritten text is harder for any OCR. Crop to the text and keep the photo straight for the best result.
Can it read Hindi?
Yes. Choose Hindi, or English + Hindi for mixed text.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Tesseract OCR runs in your browser. The language data downloads once and is then cached.
Can I convert a scanned PDF?
Yes, with OCR PDF on PDFToast, which makes scanned PDFs searchable.
