hindi text is harder for ocr than latin letters because of the connecting line on top of the letters and the many combined characters. results are best from clean printed text such as books, newspapers and screenshots. photos taken at an angle or in poor light make more mistakes.
when the picture mixes hindi and english, such as a form with english headings, results may be uneven. check the output, then copy only what you need. handwriting is not supported reliably.

frequently asked questions
is hindi ocr as accurate as english?
usually a bit less accurate, especially for small print or complex conjuncts. use a high-resolution image of printed text for the best results.
can it read marathi or sanskrit?
they use the same devanagari script, so many letters will be read correctly, but the dictionary is hindi, so expect more mistakes in words.
can i copy the text into a document?
yes. use the copy button or download the txt file, which is utf-8 so devanagari opens correctly in most editors.
