OCR.ai is a privacy-first, browser-based OCR tool that extracts text from images locally using Tesseract.js with multi-language support and no server uploads.
OCR.ai — Privacy-First Client-Side OCR
Extract text from images directly in your browser without sending your files to a remote server.
OCR.ai is a browser-based Optical Character Recognition (OCR) application built with Tesseract.js, designed with privacy, simplicity, and usability in mind.
🔐 Privacy-First OCR
One of the main goals of OCR.ai is to keep image processing on the user's device.
Instead of uploading an image to a cloud OCR service, the application processes the image directly within the browser.
This approach provides a more privacy-conscious workflow for users working with documents, screenshots, images, and other potentially sensitive content.
⚡ Key Features
📸 Client-Side Image Processing
Images are processed directly in the browser, reducing the need to transfer image data to external servers.
🌍 Multi-Language OCR
OCR.ai supports more than 25 languages, making it useful for multilingual text extraction and document processing.
Supported languages include English, Sinhala, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, and other widely used languages.
📊 Real-Time Processing Feedback
The interface provides processing status and progress information while the OCR engine analyzes an image.
📝 Text Extraction
After processing, users can quickly view and work with the extracted text.
💾 Export Options
Extracted text can be copied or downloaded for use in other applications and workflows.
