Frequently Asked Questions About OCR & Text Extraction

More Common Questions

Yes, but quality varies. Faded ink, yellowed paper, or damaged documents reduce accuracy. For best results: Scan at 600 DPI, use photo editing software to increase contrast, remove stains/specks first. Very old documents (pre-1900) with unusual fonts may have lower accuracy.

Screenshots work excellently! Since they're digital and have perfect contrast, accuracy is often 99%+. This is perfect for extracting text from software interfaces, error messages, web pages, or social media posts. PNG screenshots work better than compressed JPEGs.

No hard limit, but very high resolutions (above 4000x4000) may slow processing. For documents: 300-600 DPI is ideal. For photos: 72-150 DPI is sufficient. Higher resolution increases accuracy but also processing time. Balance based on your needs.

Curved or artistic text is challenging. Simple curves may work, but complex layouts often fail. Logos with stylized text have low accuracy. For such cases, manual transcription may be needed. The tool works best with straight, horizontal text lines.

Basic equations with standard symbols (+, -, =, ×, ÷) work well. Complex mathematical notation, special symbols, or formatted equations may not extract correctly. Consider specialized math OCR tools for academic or technical documents.

Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge (latest versions). Mobile browsers on iOS and Android. IE11 is not supported. Chrome typically has the best performance for OCR processing. Ensure you have the latest browser version for optimal results.

Yes! Perfect for extracting text from Instagram posts, Facebook images, Twitter screenshots, etc. Social media text is usually clear and digital, giving excellent accuracy. This is great for saving quotes, recipes, or information from social platforms.

The tool attempts to process any image, but quality affects results. Blurry, dark, or low-contrast images may extract incorrectly. For poor images: 1) Use image editing software first to improve quality 2) Increase contrast/brightness 3) Convert to black and white 4) Resize to optimal dimensions.

Absolutely! Researchers use our tool for digitizing printed articles, historical documents, and research papers. The privacy aspect is crucial for unpublished work. Always verify extracted text against original for critical research, as OCR isn't 100% perfect.

Our advantages: No installation required, 100% private (no uploads), completely free, works on any device, simple interface, supports multiple languages, and processes locally. Desktop software offers more features but requires installation, updates, and often costs money.
