Helpful notes before you begin
OCR works locally but downloads language models. Set the likely script for accuracy. No OCR system can guarantee perfect reading. OCR accuracy depends on lighting, angle, resolution, language, fonts and the underlying image. Translation can change the meaning of specialized legal, financial or medical language, so manually review important documents.

Is the image uploaded to your server?
OCR runs in your browser; OCR engine and language files are downloaded from a third-party CDN.
