All major image formats including JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and BMP. Works with photos from cameras, screenshots, and scanned documents.
How accurate is the OCR recognition?
Accuracy depends on image quality. Clear, high-resolution images with good lighting achieve 95%+ accuracy. Blurry, low-quality, or handwritten text may have lower accuracy.
Can it recognize handwritten text?
OCR works best with printed/typed text. Handwritten text recognition is limited and depends on handwriting clarity. Clear, neat handwriting may work, but cursive or messy writing has lower accuracy.
