Is it safe to extract text from private documents here?

Yes. The text recognition runs inside your browser — the image never leaves your device. The first run downloads the recognition engine and language data once, then they are cached.

Which languages are supported?

English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese and Italian. Pick the language before extracting — using the right one dramatically improves accuracy.

Very good on clear photos and scans of printed text. Handwriting, low light and skewed photos reduce accuracy — crop tight and keep the text straight for best results.

What can I do with the result?

The text appears in an editable box — fix anything, then copy it to the clipboard or download it as a .txt file.
