Client-Side Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Extracting text from images generally requires uploading your proprietary documents, receipts, or screenshots to an untrustworthy cloud server. Our Client-Side OCR tool changes the game by running the globally recognized tesseract.js neural network directly inside your web browser.

How is this private?

When you click "Extract Text Now", your browser downloads a WebAssembly language model and scans the pixels locally using your computer's CPU. The image data is never transmitted over the internet, rendering this tool 100% secure for medical documents, financial receipts, and legal paperwork and identification cards.

Tips for best results:

  • Ensure your text is well-lit and clearly photographed.
  • Cropping the image down to exactly the paragraph you need extraction for is much faster.
  • Standard fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, Roboto) will yield ~99% accuracy. Handwriting is currently not well supported.
