Questions & answers
Does it work for Marathi or Nepali?
They use the same Devanagari script, so many words are recognised, but accuracy is best for Hindi.
Can I get the text as a file?
Yes. After OCR, use PDF to Text to save the recognised text.
How can I improve accuracy?
Use a sharp, well-lit scan with the page straight. Scanning at 300 DPI helps most.
Are my files uploaded to your server?
No. This tool runs entirely inside your browser, so your files stay on your device. FilesForU never receives, stores or sees them.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every tool is free with a free account — no daily limit, no watermarks, and files up to 500 MB.
