Frequently asked questions
How long does OCR take?
It runs fully in your browser, so speed depends on your device and the number of pages — larger documents take longer.
How accurate is the recognition?
Accuracy is high for clean, well-scanned typed text, and lower for handwriting or low-quality scans.
