Multi-language tips

🌐

Pick the language matching the image content. Wrong language setting causes Tesseract to "hallucinate" English-like text from non-English content.

💡

Each language downloads a ~10 MB training data file the first time. Once cached, subsequent uses are fast.

🎯

For Asian languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean), use high-resolution images. CJK characters have many strokes and need pixel density to OCR well.

🔄

For mixed-language documents, run OCR with each language separately and combine the best parts — there's no single-pass multilingual mode.
