Frequently Asked Questions
How do I change the OCR language? ▼
Use the language selector in the top-left of the tool before processing your images. The selected language model will be downloaded on first use (then cached in your browser) and used for text extraction.
Can I OCR multiple languages in one image? ▼
Tesseract works best with a single language per image. For mixed-language documents, try processing with each language separately, or use the language that appears most frequently in the image.
Why is non-English OCR slower the first time? ▼
Language models need to be downloaded the first time you use them. After that, they're cached in your browser for instant access. English is pre-loaded by default.
