Frequently asked questions

What does this OCR tool do?+

It reads text out of an image — a photo, scan, or screenshot — and returns selectable, copyable text. It's handy for pulling a Bangla or Hindi quote out of a picture without retyping it by hand.

Which languages and scripts are supported?+

Bangla (Bengali), Devanagari (Hindi/Marathi), and Latin (English) are recognised. Pick the script that matches your image before extracting for the best accuracy.

Is my image uploaded to a server?+

No. Recognition runs entirely in your browser, so the image never leaves your device. That makes it safe for sensitive documents like ID cards, bills, or private notes.

How accurate is the text extraction?+

Very accurate on clear, well-lit, high-contrast text. Blurry photos, tiny fonts, stylised headings, or text over a busy background reduce accuracy — always proofread the result before relying on it.

What image formats and sizes can I use?+

Common formats — PNG, JPG/JPEG, and WebP — all work. For best results use the highest-resolution, sharpest image you have; crop tightly around the text you want.

Can I copy the extracted text anywhere?+

Yes. The recognised text is plain Unicode, so you can copy it into Word, Gmail, Facebook, or any app. If it's Bangla or Hindi, paste it into our Font Identifier to confirm the encoding is clean.

Does it read handwriting?+

It's tuned for printed/typed text, not cursive handwriting. Neat, block-letter handwriting is sometimes recognised, but don't rely on it for handwritten notes.

Does it work on a phone or tablet?+

Yes — it runs in the mobile browser, so you can snap a photo and extract text on the same device. A clear, steady photo matters more than which device you use.

Is there a limit on how many images I can scan?+

No limit and no sign-up. Because processing happens on your own device, you can use it as often as you like — the only real constraint is your device's speed on very large images.

Is this OCR tool free?+

Yes, completely free with no account. It's part of LearnType's free in-browser toolkit, alongside free Bangla, English, Hindi, and Arabic typing courses.
