Frequently Asked Questions
What is OCR (Optical Character Recognition)?
OCR is technology that converts different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, PDF files, or images captured by a digital camera, into editable and searchable data.
What is DPI and why is it important for OCR?
DPI (Dots Per Inch) refers to the resolution of an image. For OCR, a higher DPI (typically 300 DPI or more) generally results in better accuracy because the characters are clearer and more detailed for the software to analyze.
How does an Image OCR tool work?
An Image OCR tool analyzes an uploaded image, identifies text characters using pattern recognition algorithms, and converts them into digital, editable text that you can copy and use.
What types of images are best for OCR processing?
Clear, high-resolution images (ideally 300 DPI or higher) with good contrast between text and background, and standard, legible fonts, provide the best OCR results. Avoid blurry or skewed images.
Can OCR extract text from any language?
Modern OCR tools support a wide range of languages. The accuracy depends on the specific language's script complexity and the OCR engine's training data for that language. Our tool supports multiple languages, which you can select before extraction.
What are the benefits of using online OCR?
Online OCR tools offer quick and convenient text extraction without needing to install software. They save time, make information accessible from images, and allow for easy editing and sharing of text.
Is online OCR accurate?
The accuracy of online OCR can be very high, especially with clear images and supported languages. However, factors like image quality, font style, and text complexity can affect the results. Always review the extracted text.
