Frequently Asked Questions
What languages does the OCR support?+
The OCR engine supports English and many Latin-script languages. Support for additional languages and scripts is being expanded.
Is OCR processing done on a server?+
No. The entire OCR process — image analysis and text recognition — runs in your browser using WebAssembly. Your scanned documents are never uploaded to any server.
Can I select and copy text after OCR?+
Yes. After OCR processing, the recognized text is embedded as a transparent layer in the PDF. You can select, copy, and search the text in any PDF reader.
