OCR

Source on GitHub · TypeScript

OCR is a small text-recognition app that runs entirely in the browser. Nothing is uploaded, so your documents stay on your device.

Why use it

  • Client-side only: All processing happens locally.
  • Fast feedback loop: Scan, then copy or export right away.
  • Offline-ready: Works without a network connection once loaded.

Use cases

  • Extract text from screenshots, PDFs, or scanned documents
  • Capture text for research notes
  • OCR internal documents you can’t upload anywhere

Tech stack

  • TypeScript
  • Browser-native APIs + WebAssembly
  • Offline-first UX
