Frequently asked questions
Which images work best?
Printed, focused, high-contrast text. Skewed or blurry photos lower accuracy.
Does it read handwriting?
Clear handwriting may come out partially, but tesseract is trained mostly on printed text: no miracles promised.
What happens on first use?
The OCR engine (about 15 MB) is downloaded from this same site; it stays cached for later.
Can I extract text from a scanned PDF?
Yes, use the OCR PDF tool: it processes every page and can generate a searchable PDF.
