How Browser Web Worker OCR Works

Traditional OCR services require uploading high-resolution scanned PDF images to remote cloud servers for optical scanning. EdityourPDF utilizes WebAssembly and Web Worker threads powered by Tesseract.js to execute optical character recognition directly inside your computer or smartphone browser memory. Your sensitive invoices, legal contracts, and medical scans remain 100% private.
