FAQ
Arabic OCR: Questions
Does it keep Arabic text right to left?
Yes. The text box switches to right-to-left for Arabic, and the copied text is in the normal reading order for Word, Google Docs and other apps.
Can it read the harakat (diacritics)?
Clear, large print with harakat may be read, but small vowel marks are often dropped or misread. Plain printed text without diacritics gives the most reliable results.
Does it work for Urdu or Persian?
Not well. Urdu and Persian use extra letters, and Urdu is usually printed in the Nastaliq style, which the Arabic model was not trained on, so expect many mistakes.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Everything is read inside your browser, so your documents never leave your device.
