Frequently Asked Questions
How is this free if there's no catch? ▼
Since everything runs in your browser, we don't have expensive server costs for processing. The tool is supported by optional ads. No premium tier, no hidden fees.
Is the accuracy as good as paid tools? ▼
JustScanText uses Tesseract.js, the same open-source OCR engine used by Google. Accuracy typically exceeds 95% for clear, printed text and depends mainly on image quality.
Will you ever add a paid tier? ▼
All core OCR features will remain free forever. We may add optional premium features in the future, but the current functionality will never be paywalled.
