OCR
OCR is split into dedicated pages. This hub only lists them — Image to Text or PDF to Text, then English, Arabic, or bilingual.

About OCR
Optical character recognition guesses letters from pixels. It does not understand that a line is an address. Proofread numbers. A digital PDF that already has a text layer usually needs PDF to TXT, not OCR.
English, Arabic, and bilingual each load different models in your browser (Tesseract-style). That is why they are separate URLs: the language pack is part of the job. Mixed Civil ID photos belong on the English + Arabic page.
Printed, well-lit, square-on pages work. Handwriting, calligraphy, and photos of projector screens usually do not. Guides explain how OCR works and how to prep a photo.

FAQ
- Can one page read English and Arabic together?
- Yes. Open the English + Arabic page when a photo or PDF mixes both scripts. Single-language pages are quicker when you only need one.
- Can one page do images and PDFs?
- No. Each page is one service. Use Image to Text for photos and PDF to Text for PDFs.
