Quickstart & Architecture Overview

This section gives a concise, practical tour of how JfamStory OCR works under the hood and how to get reliable results quickly—without installing anything or sending files to a server. It follows the same UI you see on this page: upload, process, review, and export.

Getting Started in 60 Seconds

1. Click Choose Image and select a clear photo, scan, or screenshot.
2. Press Start OCR. The progress bar advances as recognition runs locally in your browser.
3. When text appears in the result box, skim for obvious fixes; use Copy Text or Download Text.
4. If results look weak, try a sharper source image, rotate for proper orientation, or crop heavy borders and retry.

System Components (At a Glance)

• UI Layer: File input, progress, result textarea, and action buttons.
• WebAssembly Engine: Tesseract.js compiled to WebAssembly, running entirely on-device.
• Worker Orchestration: Background workers keep the page responsive and handle long-running tasks.
• Postprocessing: Lightweight fixes like whitespace normalization and optional dictionary hints.
• Exports: Copy-to-clipboard, plain text download, and future-friendly JSON hooks.

Data Flow

Upload → Decode → (optional) Normalize → Recognize → Postprocess → Display/Export. No step leaves the browser. The engine reads pixels, predicts characters, then reconstructs words and lines. Results stream back incrementally so you can see progress in near real time.

Input Quality Checklist

• Prefer scans or photos with even lighting and minimal shadows.
• Fill the frame with the document; avoid steep perspective.
• For small text, target roughly 300 DPI or ensure the lowercase x-height is ~20–30 px.
• Remove busy backgrounds; plain, high-contrast text works best.

Language & Layout Tips

• Select the correct recognition language in settings (if available) to narrow the search space.
• For multi-column pages, consider splitting columns into separate images before OCR.
• Tables benefit from gentle preprocessing: straighten, crop tightly, and avoid heavy JPEG compression.

Performance Notes

• Large images consume memory. If you hit slowdowns, downscale modestly—but keep text legibility.
• Run one image at a time in older devices to prevent the browser from throttling.
• Avoid repeated save/re-encode cycles on JPEGs; prefer PNG for UI text and screenshots.

Reliability & Troubleshooting

• Nothing happens? Ensure the image type is supported (PNG/JPEG/GIF/BMP/WEBP or image-PDF page).
• Gibberish output? Check orientation, increase sharpness/contrast, and verify the language choice.
• Missing characters? Over-aggressive compression or low resolution is common—try a higher quality source.
• Timeout perception? Recognition runs locally; large pages take longer. Watch the progress bar for stages.

Accessibility

The UI includes ARIA labels for inputs and progress. Keyboard users can tab to Start OCR, then to Copy or Download. Screen readers announce progress via the live region near the top of the page. If you rely on high-contrast themes, the layout maintains readable color ratios by default.

Security & Privacy in Practice

All recognition is client-side. No uploads, accounts, or tracking pixels. If you export text, it is created on your device. When sharing results, review for sensitive data—copy and download preserve exactly what appears in the results box.

FAQ

Q. Does it work offline? Once the page and language data are cached by your browser, many flows continue to work without a connection.

Q. What images are best? High-contrast scans, clean screenshots, or well-lit photos. Avoid heavy motion blur or extreme angles.

Q. Can I process PDFs? Image-based PDFs are treated like images; multi-page PDFs may require page-by-page handling in your viewer.

Glossary

• OCR: Optical Character Recognition—converting pixels to characters.
• WebAssembly (WASM): A fast, portable binary format for running compiled code in the browser.
• Postprocessing: Cleanup rules applied after raw recognition to improve readability.

Operator’s Mini-Checklist

• Choose the clearest source available; crop borders and rotate upright.
• Match the language to the document’s script.
• Review quick hotspots (headers, totals, codes) before exporting.
• If results are weak, retry with a sharper input rather than over-tweaking.

Summary

JfamStory OCR keeps everything on your device and emphasizes clear, repeatable steps. With a good input, a correct language choice, and quick review, you get dependable text fast—no accounts, no uploads, just your browser doing the work.
