Frequently asked questions
Can I copy text afterwards?
Yes. Once the text layer is added you can select, copy and search the document.
Are handwritten notes recognised?
Recognition is tuned for printed text; handwriting is unreliable.
Is English OCR free to use?
Yes. There is no account, no daily limit and no watermark. Files can be up to 200 MB each.
What happens to my files?
Uploads and results are stored only while the job runs and are deleted automatically about 15 minutes later.
