Runs in your browser. The first run downloads language data (~10–20 MB); recognition takes a few seconds per page.

OCR That Never Uploads Your Document

Most online OCR services send your scan to a server to be read. For confidential material β€” contracts, medical records, legal discovery β€” that's a non-starter. This tool runs the entire recognition pipeline in your browser with Tesseract.js, so the document is never transmitted anywhere.

How the Local Pipeline Works

Each page is rendered to a high-resolution image in the browser, then a Web Worker running the open-source Tesseract engine recognizes the characters and returns plain text you can copy or download. The only thing downloaded is the engine and its language data, fetched once and cached.

Extract Text From Scanned PDFs Privately β€” Frequently Asked Questions

Is my scanned file uploaded for OCR?

No. Recognition runs locally with Tesseract.js in a Web Worker; only the open-source engine and language data are downloaded. Your document stays on your device.

Which languages can it read?

English and Thai, individually or together. Choosing the matching language improves accuracy.

Can I copy the result?

Yes β€” the extracted text appears in a box with a Copy-to-Clipboard button, and you can also download a .txt file.
