FyleTools performs OCR entirely in your browser using Tesseract.js, the JavaScript port of the Tesseract OCR engine. The language model is downloaded once and cached locally. Your images are analyzed on your device — no photos or extracted text are sent to any server. This is especially important for sensitive documents like contracts, medical records, or personal notes.
