What is OCR (Optical Character Recognition)?

OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. It's a technology that converts images of text (typed, handwritten, or printed) into machine-readable text. Modern OCR uses AI and deep learning to achieve high accuracy even with varying fonts, backgrounds, and image quality.

Can OCR read handwritten text?

Yes, modern AI-powered OCR can read handwritten text, though accuracy depends on legibility. Our tool works best with clearly written, well-spaced text. Cursive and messy handwriting may have lower accuracy. For best results with handwriting, ensure good lighting and contrast in your image.

How accurate is online OCR?

Modern OCR achieves 95-99% accuracy on clear, printed text. Accuracy can vary based on image quality, font type, background contrast, and text complexity. Our tool shows confidence scores so you know how reliable the extraction is. For critical applications, always review the extracted text.
