The same model for various tools

This feature uses Florence-2 Base FT in ONNX format. The model handles OCR, image descriptions, and detection through different prompts, so the browser can reuse stored model files after the first download.

Local processing and acceleration

Florence-2 runs through WebAssembly for broader browser compatibility. The initial download is much larger than for a typical web tool, but cached files can be reused.

Frequently asked questions

Is AI-powered OCR free?

Yes. Florence-2 runs locally without an API that charges per image.

What kind of text does it recognize?

It can recognize visible printed text in photos, screenshots, and documents. Accuracy depends on resolution, lighting, orientation, and font.

Does it work without the Internet?

The first time you need the Internet to download the model files. Then the browser can reuse stored files, although offline availability depends on your cache.

Is it better than a traditional OCR?
