Frequently asked questions
Is my uploaded file sent to a server?
No — both text recognition (Tesseract.js) and PDF rendering (PDF.js) run entirely inside your browser via WebAssembly/JavaScript. Your file is never uploaded anywhere; only the OCR engine's own library files are fetched from a CDN.
Why does the first extraction take longer than later ones?
The OCR engine's language data (English + Hindi) downloads once on first use — after that, your browser caches it, so subsequent selections on the same or later visits recognize text much faster.
Can I extract more than one line or region from the same document?
Yes — switch to "Append to existing text" mode before dragging your next selection, and each newly recognized snippet is added to the end of the text you've already extracted, instead of replacing it.
