Common questions
Screenshot text extractor FAQ
Is the screenshot uploaded?
No. Your image and its text stay in your browser. The tool downloads files it needs to read the image, and your image is not sent to Offload.
Which images work best?
Sharp screenshots with large, high-contrast, horizontal English text work best. Tiny text, decorative fonts, blur, and busy backgrounds can reduce accuracy.
Can it read handwriting or every language?
This version is configured for printed English text. It is not designed for handwriting, and other scripts may be missed or misread.
Why does the first extraction take longer?
The tool downloads what it needs the first time you use it. That first run can take longer; later runs may be faster.
