Use percentages. The selected rectangle must fit inside the original image.

Small text is upscaled before recognition. If the first pass is uncertain, automatic mode also tries contrast enhancement. First use downloads OCR resources.

Accuracy

OCR is not perfect. Printed, high-contrast text works best. Handwriting, decorative fonts, low-resolution screenshots and multi-column layouts may need manual correction.

Resources and privacy

The image and recognized text are processed in the browser. Tesseract language and WebAssembly resources are downloaded when needed; recognized text is not sent to analytics by this implementation.
