How Uyghur OCR works

The OCR engine is Tesseract with the official Uyghur (uig) language model, and it runs entirely in your browser. When you upload a photo, scan or screenshot, the recognition happens on your own device: the image is not sent to our servers or stored. The first run may take a moment while the language model loads.

Getting accurate results

Use a sharp, high-resolution image — a scan at around 300 dpi works well — with good contrast between the text and the background, and keep the text upright. Crop the image to the text you need, avoid shadows and skew, and prefer clean printed text: decorative fonts, very small type and handwriting are much less reliable. The tool accepts JPG, PNG, WebP and BMP images; PDF files are not supported, so export a page as an image first.

Cleaning up the result

OCR can confuse letters that differ only by their dots or small strokes, such as ب, ت and ن, or ھ and ه, so always proofread the output. Run it through the spell checker and punctuation checker to catch what recognition missed, and use the script converter if you need the text in Latin or Cyrillic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What image formats does the OCR support?
JPG, PNG, WebP, and BMP. Just upload the image file directly — no conversion needed.
Does it support PDF files?
Not directly — Yazghuchi's OCR works with image files only. To extract text from a PDF, take a screenshot of the page or export it as an image first, then upload that image.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. Recognition runs entirely in your browser using Tesseract.js — your image is never uploaded, stored, or shared. It only exists in your browser's memory long enough to extract the text.
How do I get the most accurate results?
Use a high-resolution, unblurred photo or scan, keep the text right-side up, and make sure there's good contrast between the text and background. Clear printed text works far better than handwriting or low-light photos.
Is it free?
Yes — completely free, with no signup and no daily limits.
