When to use this tool

Choose English, Hindi or their supported combination, then allow temporary image upload for self-hosted Tesseract processing.

A practical example

Extract a sharp printed heading and compare every digit in its accompanying reference number.

Check the exported result

Read the text result alongside the source before copying it into another document.

Common problems and limits

OCR can mix columns, confuse similar characters and miss handwriting. Upscaling an unreadable original does not recover missing letters.

Choose the next step

Crop Image can isolate the relevant passage before recognition.

Files, privacy and saving

This workflow uses temporary server processing after your consent. Review the upload notice and avoid processing material you are not authorised to use. Keep your original, review the downloaded result and choose a clear filename before sharing it. The privacy policy explains the processing approach.
