See how confident the OCR engine is about the extracted text.
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) converts images of text into actual editable text. It's used to extract text from scanned documents, photos, or screenshots.
Accuracy depends on image quality. High-resolution scans (300+ DPI) with good contrast typically achieve 95%+ accuracy. Handwritten text is less accurate.
OCR is computationally intensive. Processing happens entirely in your browser for privacy, which may be slower than server-based solutions but keeps your data safe.
The OCR engine is optimized for printed text. Handwritten text may work for very neat writing but results will vary significantly.
