❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is OCR (Optical Character Recognition)?
+
**OCR** is a technology that allows computers to "read" text from images and convert it into machine-readable text data. This makes non-editable text (like in a photo) editable and searchable.
2. Is the conversion done securely?
+
**Yes, completely.** This tool uses **client-side OCR** via Tesseract.js. This means the entire conversion process happens locally within your web browser. Your image file **never leaves your device** or is uploaded to a server.
3. What factors affect the text extraction accuracy?
+
Accuracy depends on **Image Resolution**, **Clarity/Sharpness**, **Contrast** between text and background, and the complexity/legibility of the **Font** (handwritten text is generally less accurate).
4. What image formats are supported?
+
We support most common web formats, including **JPG, JPEG, PNG,** and **GIF**. We recommend using clear, high-contrast images for best results.
5. Can I use this for foreign languages?
+
The underlying Tesseract library supports **many languages**. However, this basic version is configured for **English**. For other languages, the tool would need additional language packs loaded.
