Private OCR Scanner
Extract text from images without uploading them anywhere. JustScanText processes everything locally in your browser - your files never touch a server. True privacy for sensitive documents.
Why Privacy Matters for OCR
Most OCR tools upload your images to their servers. That means your contracts, medical records, financial documents, and personal photos pass through someone else's systems. With JustScanText, there's simply no way for anyone to access your files - they never leave your device.
How It Works
- 1 You load the page
The Tesseract.js OCR engine downloads and runs in your browser.
- 2 You drop your image
The file stays on your computer. No upload happens.
- 3 Local processing extracts text
Your CPU does the work using WebAssembly. No server involved.
- 4 You copy the result
The extracted text exists only on your device.
