Accuracy limits

OCR can make mistakes. Verify contracts, invoices, identity documents, medical records, and financial fields before acting on extracted text.

Availability

Client-side OCR depends on browser support, device memory, and third-party open-source libraries delivered through public CDNs.

When this tool helps

Terms of Service helps when text is visible but locked inside an image, scan, PDF page, receipt, invoice, screenshot, or archived document. Use it to reduce retyping first, then decide whether the result belongs in TXT, Word, Excel, Markdown, JSON, CSV, or a searchable PDF workflow.

OCR workflow

Best inputs

Terms of Service works best with high-resolution scans, sharp screenshots, straight pages, strong contrast, and files that are not heavily compressed. If the first result looks weak, crop the page, rotate it upright, improve contrast, and rerun OCR before blaming the text engine.

OCR workflow

Output formats

Start with copyable TXT because it is the fastest review format. Move to Word or DOCX when you need editable paragraphs, Excel or CSV when rows and totals matter, Markdown for notes and OCR for RAG, JSON for automation, and Searchable PDF or PDF/A when the original scan must remain searchable as an archive.

OCR workflow

Accuracy checklist

Check names, dates, totals, invoice numbers, tables, handwriting, stamps, watermarks, and low-contrast areas before relying on OCR output. OCR saves typing, but important legal, medical, finance, and identity documents still need a human review pass.

OCR workflow

Fields worth checking

For receipts and invoices, verify merchant, vendor, date, subtotal, tax, total, currency, line items, and payment terms. For contracts, verify names, clause numbers, signatures, dates, and page order. For research and books, verify headings, citations, tables, footnotes, and reading order.

OCR workflow

Privacy and retention

The browser workflow keeps files on your device when local OCR is available. If you choose any advanced cloud OCR mode, look for clear upload disclosure, short retention windows, deletion rules, encryption, and a promise that files are not used for training.
