Frequently Asked Questions
What is OCR?
OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. It is a technology that analyzes the shapes of letters in an image and translates them into machine-readable, editable text data.
Why is the output text sometimes inaccurate?
OCR accuracy depends heavily on the image quality. Blurry photos, low contrast, stylized fonts, or heavy shadows can confuse the AI. For best results, use well-lit, high-resolution images.
Can this extract text from a locked PDF?
Yes, if the PDF is essentially a flattened image (like a scanned book), this OCR tool will read the visual text and convert it into a copyable format.
