Frequently Asked Questions

Which languages are supported?
English, Turkish, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Hindi and Japanese — and you can select several at once for mixed text.
Can I paste a screenshot directly?
Yes. Press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac) on the page to paste a screenshot from the clipboard.
Does it read handwriting?
It's designed for printed text. Neat handwriting sometimes works, but results vary.
How can I get better results?
Use a sharp, well-lit, straight image with good contrast, and choose the correct language.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Text recognition runs entirely in your browser, so your images stay on your device.
