What is Online OCR and how does it work?
OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition – it's like having a digital assistant that can "read" text from any image and convert it into editable text.
Our tool uses AI to achieve high accuracy in text recognition.
Unlike cloud OCR tools, everything happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly technology. This means your documents never leave your device!
