Offline OCR Tool

After loading the page once, JustScanText works completely offline. Perfect for working on planes, in areas with poor connectivity, or on restricted corporate networks.

How Offline Mode Works

The Tesseract.js OCR engine and language models are downloaded and cached in your browser on first visit. After that, all processing happens locally without any network requests. Even if you disconnect from the internet, the tool continues to work.
