Find answers to common questions about our tool and how it works.

Tesseract achieves 95%+ accuracy on clear, printed text with good contrast. Handwriting, stylized fonts, or poor image quality reduces accuracy.
Tesseract has limited handwriting support. For best results, use it on printed text. Neat, clear handwriting may work with lower accuracy.
High contrast between text and background, minimal blur, and upright text orientation give the best OCR accuracy. Try our image upscaler first for better results on blurry images.
