Frequently Asked Questions
Can it handle mixed Hindi and English documents?
Yes - government documents, notices, and forms that mix Devanagari and English are recognised with both scripts. The output PDF keeps the original page image with an invisible, searchable text layer underneath.
How accurate is Hindi OCR on typical scans?
Printed Devanagari on clean scans recognises well; accuracy drops with skewed, low-resolution, or handwritten pages. For best results scan at 300 DPI, keep pages straight, and prefer the original document over a photocopy of a photocopy.
Is my document uploaded for OCR processing?
No. The OCR engine and Hindi language models run entirely in your browser - the PDF never leaves your device, and after the first load it even works offline. That matters for legal notices and personal records in Hindi.
What can I do with the OCR output?
Search inside the PDF, copy Hindi text into Word or email, and make the document accessible to screen readers. If you need plain text, run the result through our PDF to Text tool afterwards.
