About This Tool

This tool is a free and secure , browser-based utility for scanning and extracting text from images of documents. It uses two technologies, called Tesseract.js and Pyodide, to perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) entirely on your device, without sending your image to a server.

How It Works

Images are pre-processed in your browser using Pyodide, a Python interpreter compiled to WebAssembly using Python Imaging libraries. This sharpens and enhances the image allowing for improved OCR results.

Tesseract, an industry standard OCR engine, is then applied to the pre-processed image to extract text from uploaded text or documents. Different document structures can be optimized for by selecting the appropriate page segmentation setting.

All processing happens locally on your computer. No documents or images are uploaded or transmitted anywhere.

The pre-processed image is also displayed allowing fine-tuning and the best OCR results.

Why Client-Side?

We respect your pravacy. All document processing is done locally on your device, and does not leave your browser. No data is uploaded to any server, and your doucments are not passed to any AI model.

✔️ Privacy: Your files stay private — they never leave your device.

✔️ Security: No network requests means no risk of data interception or server breaches.

✔️ Speed: Once the components are loaded you get instant results without waiting for uploads or downloads.

This approach is ideal for handling sensitive information like IDs, contracts, or private notes. You’re in full control of your data, always.

And Yes — It’s Free

Did we mention that this tool is completely free to use? There are no accounts, no paywalls, and no usage limits. It’s designed for quick, secure OCR without compromising your privacy or your wallet.
