Frequently asked questions

What languages does the OCR support?

The OCR engine supports English and many other major languages. Accuracy is highest for clearly printed documents in Latin-script languages.

Can it handle handwriting?

Printed text works very well. Handwritten text may be partially recognized depending on clarity.

What is the difference between this and AI Analyze?

OCR extracts the raw text from a scanned document. AI Analyze then reads that text and produces a summary. For a scanned PDF you can use OCR first, then AI Analyze.
