OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is technology that converts different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, PDF files, or images captured by a digital camera, into editable and searchable data.

What file formats are supported?

We support all major image formats including JPG, PNG, WEBP, TIFF, BMP, and PDF documents.

How accurate is the text recognition?

Accuracy depends on the source. Clean printed text reads reliably; photos, handwriting, and low-contrast or skewed scans are harder. We do not publish a single accuracy figure because it would not be meaningful across those cases.
