Read Russian out of a photo, scan or screenshot with a recogniser trained on East Slavic specifically — Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian — which makes it more accurate on those three than the general Cyrillic pack covering 30-odd languages. English on the same page is read by the same model.
How it works
- Drop an image or PDF. Text detection runs immediately.
- Pick your language pack (downloaded once, 8–17 MB) and press Read text.
- Copy the lines, or download .txt / .json. PDFs are read cover to cover.
Questions
- Does it read Ukrainian and Belarusian too?
- Yes. This pack is trained on all three East Slavic languages together, so a document mixing them is one pass. For Bulgarian, Serbian, Macedonian or Kazakh, switch to the general Cyrillic pack.
- Does my file get uploaded?
- No. The models and all processing run inside your browser on your own device. You can verify this yourself: open your browser’s DevTools, watch the Network tab, and process a file: there are no uploads. After the first visit most tools also work fully offline.
- Which languages are supported?
- 106 languages across Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, Devanagari, CJK, Greek, Thai, Tamil and Telugu scripts. Bengali is the one major gap, since no v5 model exists for it yet, and the picker says so rather than guessing.
- How accurate is it?
- On clean document text, the measured character error rate is under 2%, and every line carries a confidence score so you can see which ones to check. Handwriting and low-resolution photos will read worse.
- Does it read scanned PDFs?
- Yes. Digital PDFs are read from their own text layer, with exact characters at exact positions. Scanned pages go through detection and recognition, and mixed documents use both.
