Questions and answers

Which language setting should I use?

Arabic + English handles most documents. Choose a single language when the image has only one; it can be slightly more accurate.

How do I get the best result?

Photograph the page straight on, in good light, filling the frame. Avoid shadows and blur.

Why is the first run slower?

Your browser downloads the text-recognition data once (a few MB) and keeps it for next time.

Are my images uploaded?

Everything happens in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see them.
