How does the OCR Online Scanner extract text from images?

It utilizes client-side optical character recognition (OCR) powered by WebAssembly to convert pixels into editable text directly inside your web browser.

Can I copy or download the extracted text?

Yes! You can copy the entire extracted text with a single click, listen to it using built-in Text-to-Speech (TTS), or download it as a plain text (.txt), Word (.doc), or JSON file.

Are my uploaded images or scanned documents kept private?

Yes, 100%. All image scanning and character recognition happen locally within your browser RAM. No images or text are ever uploaded to remote servers.

Does it support clipboard pasting and search & replace?

Yes! You can paste images directly using Ctrl+V or Cmd+V, and use the built-in search and replace utility to edit keywords across the raw OCR output.
