Questions, answered
Which languages are supported?
15, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. Each language downloads once, the first time you pick it.
How do I get the best results?
Straight, sharp images with good contrast. Crop to the text you need, and if a photo is slightly rotated, straighten it with the Rotate tool first.
Does it keep the layout?
Line breaks are kept, but columns and tables come out as plain text in reading order.
Is my image sent to a server?
No. The AI model itself is downloaded to your browser the first time you use the tool, then everything runs on your device — the image never leaves it. After that first download the tool works offline.
