Why BanglaOCR instead of generic OCR tools?
Generic OCR tools treat Bangla as an afterthought. They stumble on যুক্তাক্ষর (conjunct characters), silently convert Bangla numerals to English, and fail completely on handwriting — which is exactly where so many real Bangla documents live: notes, letters, filled-in forms and old scanned pages.
BanglaOCR was built the other way around: Bangla first. Our handwriting model is trained on tens of thousands of real Bangla handwriting samples. It reads কবির হাসান as কবির হাসান — not as garbled Latin letters. It keeps ৳ amounts, Bangla dates and mixed-language pages intact.
And it's free to use, right on this page — your first 2 pages each day need no sign-up at all.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Bangla OCR and how accurate is it?
Bangla OCR (optical character recognition) converts images of Bangla text into editable digital text. BanglaOCR reaches approximately 99% accuracy on clearly printed Bangla and English documents, and about 88% character accuracy on Bangla handwriting — the hardest problem in Bangla document processing.
Is BanglaOCR really free?
Yes — the online tool is completely free with a fair daily page limit per user. Upload an image or PDF, get your text, and download it in the format you need. Your first 2 pages each day need no sign-up; after that, just sign in with Google or a free email account — no payment.
Can it read Bangla handwriting (হাতের লেখা)?
Yes — this is our core differentiator. Our proprietary AI model is trained specifically on Bangla handwriting: names, addresses, amounts in words (যেমন: দশ হাজার টাকা মাত্র), dates and form entries.
Which file formats are supported?
JPG, PNG, WebP images and multi-page PDF documents. Phone photos work too — though flat, well-lit scans give the best accuracy.
Is Bangla OCR the same as Bengali OCR?
Yes — Bangla and Bengali are two names for the same language and script. BanglaOCR is a Bengali OCR too: Bengali image to text, Bengali PDF to text and Bengali handwriting to text all work the same way.
Does it handle mixed Bangla-English pages?
Yes — mixed Bangla-English pages are the norm in official paperwork, and both scripts are read together in a single pass. Bangla numerals (০১২৩৪৫৬৭৮৯) are preserved exactly as written.
