❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How does handwriting to text conversion work?

Our tool uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology powered by Tesseract.js. It analyzes the patterns in your image and matches them against known character shapes to extract text. The entire process happens in your browser - no data is sent to any server.

Is my data secure?

Yes! All processing happens locally in your browser using Tesseract.js. Your images are never uploaded to any server. Once you close or refresh the page, all data is cleared. We prioritize your privacy.

What image formats are supported?

We support all common image formats including JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and WebP. For best results, use high-resolution JPEG or PNG images with clear contrast between text and background.

Why is the recognition not 100% accurate?

OCR accuracy depends on many factors: image quality, handwriting clarity, lighting, contrast, and writing style. Printed text typically has higher accuracy than handwritten text. Cursive writing is more challenging to recognize than print-style handwriting.

How can I improve recognition accuracy?

For better results: use high-resolution images, ensure good lighting and contrast, write clearly in print style (not cursive), keep text horizontal, and avoid shadows or reflections on the paper.

Can I convert handwritten notes from photos?

Yes! You can use photos taken with your phone or camera. For best results, take the photo from directly above the paper, ensure even lighting, and make sure the image is in focus and not blurry.

Which languages are supported?

We support 15+ languages including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and Hindi. Select your language before converting.

Is there a file size limit?

There's no strict limit, but very large images may take longer to process. For optimal speed, we recommend images under 5MB. The tool will automatically handle the image in your browser.

Can I use this tool offline?

After the first use, the OCR engine files are cached in your browser. Subsequent uses may work offline, though some language files may need to be downloaded on first use for that language.

Does this work on mobile devices?

Yes! Our tool works on smartphones and tablets. You can even take a photo directly with your device camera and convert it immediately. The interface is fully responsive for mobile use.
