OCR Detection FAQ

What image formats are supported?

We support all common image formats including JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and TIFF. Images are automatically preprocessed for optimal OCR accuracy.

How do you handle poor quality images?

Our preprocessing pipeline includes automatic rotation correction, contrast enhancement, and denoising. While accuracy decreases with image quality, we can still extract text from moderately blurry or low-resolution images.

Can you detect text in memes?

Yes, we specialize in extracting text from memes, including the common top-text/bottom-text format. The extracted text can then be moderated for hate speech or policy violations.

Do you support right-to-left languages?

Yes, we fully support RTL languages including Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Urdu with proper text direction handling and high accuracy.
