FAQ
Questions about OCR Tools
What tools are available in OCR Tools?
This category groups together 5 tools for extracting text from images and PDFs using optical character recognition (OCR). Every tool listed above is fully working.
Are these tools free to use?
Yes. Every tool on Calcooo is completely free and does not require an account.
Is my file safe when I use these tools?
Yes. Every OCR tool runs entirely inside your browser using Tesseract.js — a WebAssembly OCR engine — so your files are never uploaded to Calcooo or any server.
Can I use these tools on my phone?
Yes, though OCR is processor-intensive, so recognition may take longer on an older phone than on a desktop.
