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 Bangladesh's real documents live: filled bank forms, KYC files, insurance claims, land records and government applications.
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 every uncertain field is flagged rather than silently guessed.
And it's free to use, right on this page. Organizations with sensitive documents — banks, NBFIs, insurers and public institutions — can additionally deploy BanglaOCR on their own hardware, so customer documents are processed inside their own data center.

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. No signup and 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. Uncertain readings are flagged for quick human verification.
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.
Can it extract data from filled forms into Excel or JSON?
Yes. Smart Form Extraction reads a filled form and returns structured field-by-field data — account numbers, names, amounts, dates, checkbox selections — ready for JSON export or spreadsheet import, cutting manual data entry time by around 5x.
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.
Do you offer a private deployment for organizations?
Yes. Banks, insurers and government offices handling sensitive documents can deploy BanglaOCR on-premise: the full system runs on your own server, works fully offline, and documents never leave your infrastructure. Contact us to discuss.
