FAQ

Hindi OCR: Questions

Is the Hindi text Unicode?

Yes. It is standard Unicode Devanagari, so it pastes correctly into Word, Google Docs, WhatsApp and any modern app without a special font.

Can it read Marathi or Nepali?

They are written in the same Devanagari script, so the Hindi model reads most of the text; a few words that differ from Hindi may need correcting.

Can it read handwritten Hindi?

Not reliably. It is made for printed Hindi, such as books, newspapers, forms and screenshots.

Are my images uploaded?

No. The OCR runs inside your browser, so your images never leave your device.
