How It Works

The OCR engine analyzes pixel patterns to identify characters, using trained models that recognize letterforms across various fonts, sizes, and orientations. It handles printed text reliably and can manage handwritten text with reasonable accuracy depending on legibility. For best results, use clear, high-contrast images where the text is not heavily rotated or distorted.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the OCR?

High-contrast printed text is recognized with high accuracy. Handwritten text, artistic fonts, or low-resolution images reduce accuracy.

What languages are supported?

The engine supports most Latin-script languages and several others. Results vary by language and font complexity.

Does it preserve formatting?

Basic paragraph and line structure is preserved. Complex layouts like tables or multi-column text may not map perfectly.
