OCR, or Optical Character Recognition, is a technology that converts different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, PDFs, or images captured by a digital camera, into editable and searchable data. Our tool uses the open-source **Tesseract.js** library, which performs all conversions directly within your browser. This client-side processing guarantees your data remains private and secure, as it never leaves your device.
