Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the OCR text extraction? expand_more

Our tool uses advanced AI-powered Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to achieve high accuracy, often over 95% for clear, high-resolution images with printed text. Accuracy can vary depending on the image quality, font style, and text complexity.

What languages are supported for text recognition? expand_more

Our OCR engine supports a wide range of languages, including English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, and more. For best results, ensure your image is clear and the text is horizontal.

Can this tool recognize handwritten text? expand_more

Yes, our OCR technology can recognize clear, legible handwriting. However, the accuracy for handwriting is generally lower than for printed text and depends heavily on the clarity and style of the writing. For best results, use images with high contrast and neatly written text.

What's the difference between OCR for images and PDFs? expand_more

This tool is optimized for image formats (JPG, PNG, etc.). While you can take a screenshot of a PDF and use it here, for native PDF documents (especially multi-page ones), it's better to use a dedicated PDF-to-Text or PDF-to-Word converter. Those tools can often extract text more efficiently from the PDF's internal structure.

What output formats are available for the extracted text? expand_more

After extracting the text, you can easily copy it to your clipboard with a single click. You can also download the text as a plain text (.txt) file for easy use in any editor or word processor. We keep the output simple and universally compatible.
