Frequently asked
Questions before you upload?
Does it actually handle Frisian characters?
Yes. Frisian (code: fy) is one of the 100+ languages supported end-to-end — OCR detection, output, and one-click translation. Characters, accents, and scripts specific to Frisian are preserved in the output.
Can I translate the Frisian text after extraction?
Yes. Once the Frisian text is extracted, you can translate it into English or any of 100+ supported languages in a single click. The translation runs in the same flow.
Does it work on handwritten Frisian?
Printed Frisian is most accurate. Handwritten Frisian is supported but accuracy depends on legibility — the same as handwriting recognition in any other language.
How accurate is the OCR?
99.9% accuracy on clean printed text, around 95% on photos with normal lighting, and 80–90% on handwriting or low-contrast scans. The cleaner the source image, the cleaner the output.
What happens to my files after I scan them?
Files are processed over TLS, stored encrypted at rest, and deleted from the OCR queue after extraction. Free-tier history is kept 30 days; paid-tier history is forever or until you delete it.
Is it really free?
Yes. The free tier processes up to 10 ScanThisText.com scans per day and 300 per month with no credit card. Paid tiers unlock unlimited scans, AI extraction, and longer history.
