OCR FAQ
What's the difference between Standard and AI modes?
Standard mode uses Tesseract.js locally in your browser. AI mode uses Gemini 2.0 for superior accuracy with complex layouts or handwriting.
Which image formats are supported?
Common formats like JPG, PNG, and WebP are supported.
What should I do if the recognition result is inaccurate?
If you see gibberish or incorrect text, please switch to 'AI Enhanced' mode. Standard mode requires high-quality images, while AI mode handles complex backgrounds and handwriting much better.

Technical Deep Dive
This tool uses a hybrid approach. Standard mode runs Tesseract.js in the browser after required assets load. Optional AI mode sends the image through our server to the configured cloud AI provider for complex visual scenes and formatting.
