Powered by Tesseract — the same OCR engine used by Google — and running entirely in your browser.
Anyone working with scanned documents who needs the text content — researchers digitising archives, lawyers extracting text from court documents, anyone who received a scanned PDF and needs to work with the content.

What is OCR?
Optical Character Recognition — software that reads text from images and converts it to machine-readable text.
Does it work on handwriting?
Printed text is recognised reliably. Handwriting recognition is much less accurate.
What affects accuracy?
Image quality, scan resolution, font clarity, and document language.
What resolution should my scan be?
300 DPI or above is recommended for best accuracy.
Is my document uploaded?
No — Tesseract runs locally via WebAssembly.
Free. Instant. No sign-in. Open it and get the job done.
