How accurate is the text recognition?

It depends heavily on image quality — clean, high-resolution, well-lit text recognizes very accurately. Blurry, skewed, low-resolution, or handwritten text will produce more errors or get filtered out entirely.

Does this work with handwriting?

Not reliably — Tesseract is trained for printed text. Handwriting recognition is a fundamentally different, much harder problem this tool isn't built for.

What languages are supported?

English and French are both recognized automatically in every request — there's no language picker because both are checked together.

Why did I get an error with no extracted text?

This means no text in the image could be recognized with reasonable confidence — try a clearer, higher-resolution image with visible, printed text.

Features

Real OCR, not just image analysis
Text is recognized with Tesseract, a genuine optical character recognition engine — not a description or guess of what the image contains.
English and French recognized together
Both languages are loaded and checked in every recognition pass, so mixed-language text is handled without picking a language upfront.
Noise-line filtering
Low-confidence text fragments from JPEG artifacts or background noise are automatically filtered out, keeping the output focused on real, clearly-recognized text.
Clear failure on unreadable images
If no text can be confidently recognized at all, you get a clear error rather than an empty or garbled file.
