OCR Without Uploading: Private Text Extraction
Optical character recognition usually means sending your scans and documents to a server. Chito Tools runs OCR directly in your browser — English, Nepali, and Hindi text extraction with no uploads.
Why private OCR matters
Documents you scan are often sensitive: passports, school records, contracts, or personal letters. Upload-based OCR sends those images to a server, creating privacy and legal risks.
With client-side OCR, the recognition model runs on your device using local language data — your documents never leave your computer or phone.
- Open the OCR Scanner tool
- Upload an image, PDF, or TIFF (processed locally)
- Choose English, Nepali, Hindi, or bilingual
- Extract text, or download a searchable PDF
Nepali and Hindi (Devanagari) OCR
The OCR engine includes a Devanagari model that accurately recognizes both Nepali (नेपाली) and Hindi (हिन्दी) text — ideal for scanned documents, books, and forms across Nepal and India.
