Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the OCR?

Accuracy depends on image quality. Clear, high-resolution images with good contrast produce the best results. Blurry or low-contrast images may have errors.

Does it work with handwritten text?

It can recognize neat handwriting with moderate accuracy, but printed text produces significantly better results. Very cursive or messy handwriting may not be recognized well.

What image formats are supported?

PNG, JPG, WebP, and BMP images are all supported. For best OCR results, use a high-resolution image with clear text.
