The OCR engine supports 100+ languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and Hindi.
Accuracy on clean, high-resolution scans exceeds 98%. For low-quality scans, the engine applies deskew and denoising pre-processing that improved extraction accuracy by 14.2% in our internal benchmarks on mobile-captured invoice artifacts.
The OCR engine is optimized for printed text. Handwriting recognition accuracy varies significantly by writing style and is not recommended for production use on handwritten documents.
