Tips for better Malayalam results
- Malayalam and English are selected together for mixed documents.
- Books printed in the traditional script, with many stacked conjuncts, can convert less accurately than modern reformed-script text.
- Good light and a straight page matter more for Malayalam than for most scripts, because many letters differ only by a small loop.

Questions
Is this Malayalam OCR free?
Yes. Without an account you can convert 10 scanned pages a day, and a free account gives you 30. Pro removes the limit.
Are my Malayalam documents uploaded anywhere?
No. OCR runs inside your browser. The Malayalam language data is downloaded to your browser once, but your files never leave your device.
How accurate is Malayalam OCR?
Clean, printed Malayalam text at 300 dpi converts well. Handwriting, faint photocopies, stamps and decorative fonts reduce accuracy, so check names, numbers and dates against the original.
