Questions

How accurate is it?

Clear, straight, well-lit pictures read very well. Blurry, tilted or handwritten text is harder and may need fixing by hand.

Why does the first run take longer?

The language data (a few MB) downloads once and is cached. Your picture is never uploaded.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Everything happens inside your browser on your own device. Your files are never sent to us or anyone else.

Is it free?

Yes. It is free to use, with no signup, no watermark and no daily limit.
