Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key?
No — this uses an in-browser OCR engine loaded from a public CDN, with no server upload and no API key.
Which languages are supported?
This tool is set to English; results are most reliable on clear English text.
Why is recognition slow or inaccurate on some images?
Low resolution, unusual fonts, low contrast, or a skewed angle all make OCR harder — a clear, well-lit, straight-on shot works best.
