Frequently asked questions

What is OCR?+

Optical character recognition identifies printed text in a picture so it can be searched and processed.

Can OCR read handwriting?+

Results are best with clear printed text; handwriting recognition is not guaranteed.

Why was no text detected?+

Blurry, dark, angled or very decorative text can be difficult to recognize. Try a clearer image.
