FAQ

Spanish OCR: Questions

Why choose Spanish instead of English?

The English model doesn't know accented letters, so it often reads ñ as n and drops accents. With Spanish selected, accents, ñ, ¿ and ¡ are recognised.

Is Spanish OCR free?

Yes, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on the number of images.

Can it read Catalan or Portuguese?

They share most letters with Spanish, so much of the text is read, but letters such as ç or ã and some words may need correcting.

Are my images uploaded?

No. The OCR runs in your browser and the image never leaves your device.
