Why image to text (ocr) on AZ Tooling?

Language data and recognition run locally in the browser, making the tool suitable for private letters, receipts, statements and internal documents.
Frequently asked questions
What does OCR mean?
Optical character recognition turns printed text in an image into text a computer can copy, search and edit.
Does it work with handwriting?
It is designed for printed text. Clean screenshots and scans give the best results; handwriting is less reliable.
Are my documents uploaded?
No. Recognition runs locally in your browser and the source image never leaves your device.
