Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the OCR?

Accuracy is excellent for clean, high-contrast typed text. Handwriting and stylized fonts are less reliable.

Why does the first run take a long time?

Tesseract.js downloads language model data (~10–30 MB) on the first use. Subsequent runs are faster.

Can it read handwriting?

Tesseract is optimized for printed text. Handwriting recognition is limited.
