Frequently Asked Questions
- What image formats does the OCR tool support?
- The tool supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, and WebP images up to 10 MB. For best results use a high-resolution scan or photo (at least 150 DPI) with clear, horizontal text and good contrast between the text and background.
- How accurate is the OCR text extraction?
- AWS Textract delivers high accuracy on printed text — typically 99%+ on clear, high-resolution scans of typed documents. Accuracy drops for low-resolution images, skewed text, decorative fonts, or handwriting. For best results, scan at 300 DPI or higher and ensure the text is horizontal.
- Can it extract text from handwritten notes?
- Yes — AWS Textract includes handwriting recognition. Accuracy depends on the clarity of the handwriting: neat, block-printed letters work well, while cursive or messy handwriting may produce errors. Printed text always gives better results than handwriting.
- Is my image stored after OCR processing?
- No — your image is sent directly to AWS Textract for processing and is not stored on our servers. AWS Textract processes the image in memory and returns the extracted text without retaining a copy. Your files are private and never used for training or shared with third parties.
