Tips for better Punjabi results
- This page is for Gurmukhi. Punjabi written in Shahmukhi (Perso-Arabic script) needs the Urdu model instead.
- Punjabi and English are selected together for mixed papers.
- Tippi and bindi are small dots: a sharp scan keeps them from being dropped.
How it works
- Drop a scanned PDF, photo or screenshot into the box above, or paste an image.
- Pages that already contain text are read directly. Scanned pages go through Punjabi OCR in your browser.
- Download the result as a Markdown (.md) file, or copy it and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Word or Google Docs.
Questions
Is this Punjabi 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 Punjabi documents uploaded anywhere?
No. OCR runs inside your browser. The Punjabi language data is downloaded to your browser once, but your files never leave your device.
How accurate is Punjabi OCR?
Clean, printed Punjabi text at 300 dpi converts well. Handwriting, faint photocopies, stamps and decorative fonts reduce accuracy, so check names, numbers and dates against the original.
