Which languages are supported?
English, Arabic, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified) and Hindi. English and Arabic are built into FlashFile; other languages download their recognition data once, on demand.
Is Arabic OCR really supported?
Yes — Arabic recognition data is available and loaded on demand. If your browser cannot reach the data CDN, the tool will report the error honestly instead of pretending it worked.
Are my images uploaded for OCR?
No. OCR runs locally in your browser using Tesseract.js. The OCR engine runs on your device and your image never leaves it.
What image quality works best?
Sharp, high-contrast, straight text gives the best results. Very small, blurry or heavily rotated text is harder for OCR to read accurately.
