FAQ
-
Does this plugin require Tesseract to be installed?
-
No.
You can use tesseract.min.js entirely inside the browser without installing anything on your server.
If you prefer server-side OCR, install the Tesseract executable on your server and configure its path in the plugin settings. Here is the download link: https://tesseract-ocr.github.io/tessdoc/Installation.html
-
Does it work on mobile phones?
-
Yes. Just open your WordPress website installed with this plugin. Go to dashboard, then go to this plugin’s admin page.
-
Can OCR results be saved?
-
Yes. Scanned text can be stored in the WordPress database for later viewing. Later you can export it as csv files.
-
Can I send OCR results to another application?
-
Yes. The plugin can send structured OCR results to any webhook endpoint.
-
Which OCR engine is more accurate?
-
Accuracy depends on document quality. Server-side Tesseract is generally faster and more suitable for large workloads, while tesseract.min.js requires no server installation and works entirely in the user’s browser.
