Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about pdf ocr.
How accurate is your OCR tool?
For clear, typed documents, our neural recognition reaches over 99% accuracy. For handwritten or low-resolution scans, accuracy may vary but remains among the best in the industry.
Does my document get uploaded for OCR?
No. We use a specialized browser-side engine that downloads the model to your device once and then performs the scan locally. Your document stays in your RAM.
Can I extract text from a multi-page PDF?
Yes! Our tool processes every page of your document and can return either a unified text file or a searchable PDF version.
Do I need a powerful computer for this?
Since the AI runs locally, a modern computer with at least 8GB of RAM is recommended for long documents, though it works on most modern laptops and desktops.
