How it works
- Choose the language. Picking the right language noticeably improves accuracy — OCR models are trained per-language.
- Upload an image. Clear, well-lit, reasonably high-resolution images work best. Very small or blurry text is harder to read accurately.
- Extract, then copy. The text appears in the box above once processing finishes — review it, since OCR isn't perfect, especially on handwriting or unusual fonts.
Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded?
No. The image is processed on your device; only the OCR engine and language data are downloaded.
Which languages are supported?
English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and English plus Traditional Chinese.
How do I get better accuracy?
Pick the correct language and use a clear, well-lit, reasonably high-resolution image.
Your image is processed entirely in your browser using an open-source OCR engine (Tesseract.js) — it is never uploaded to KokoroFlow or any other server. The first extraction on a given language may take a little longer while the recognition model downloads.
