Frequently Asked Questions
Is my scan sent to a server?
No. The OCR engine and its language model run inside your browser. The only download is the model file from this site.
Why did OCR return nothing?
The chosen language may not match the document, the scan may be too low resolution, or the page may be rotated. Try another language or a sharper scan.
Can I edit the Word file afterwards?
Yes. The .docx contains real text paragraphs, so you can edit it in Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs.
