The Tesseract WASM engine is highly accurate for clear, typed text in supported languages. Accuracy reduces for handwritten text, highly stylized fonts, or low-resolution scans. For best results, ensure your scanned PDFs are well-lit and not tilted.
The browser OCR engine primarily reads layout block by block. It can handle basic multi-column layouts, but complex magazine-style pages might have reading order issues. Currently, it outputs a searchable transparent text layer right above the image.
Picxor can handle files up to 100MB. Very large files may take longer as processing happens in your browser. For files over 50MB, closing other browser tabs helps.
