Frequently Asked Questions
How is handwriting OCR (ICR) different from normal OCR?
OCR reads printed text with fixed fonts; ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition) reads handwriting, where every person's writing differs. ICR requires AI models trained on real handwriting samples — which is why generic OCR tools fail on Bangla handwritten documents.
How accurate is Bangla handwriting recognition?
BanglaOCR reaches approximately 88% character accuracy on real Bangla handwriting — measured on real documents, not lab samples. Clear writing scores higher; messy cursive lower. Check the result and fix any mistakes right in the text box before you copy or download it.
Does it convert Bengali handwriting to text?
Yes. Bengali and Bangla are the same language and script, so Bengali handwriting to text works exactly the same — handwritten Bengali notes, letters and filled-in entries become editable text.
Is handwritten Bangla OCR free to use?
Yes — upload a photo of Bangla handwriting right on this page and get the text free, with a fair daily page limit. Your first 2 pages each day need no sign-up; after that, sign in with your Google account for up to 30 pages a day.
Can it read amounts written in words, like 'দশ হাজার টাকা মাত্র'?
Yes — amounts written in words are read as text, along with the numbers next to them. Always double-check amounts before you rely on them.
Does it handle Bangla numerals (০১২৩৪৫৬৭৮৯)?
Yes, and it preserves them as Bangla numerals in the output. Dates, account numbers and amounts written in Bangla digits stay in Bangla — nothing is silently converted.
Can it read English handwriting too?
Yes. Mixed forms — Bangla handwriting in some fields, English block letters in others — are the norm in Bangladesh, and the model reads both in a single pass.
What about signatures and very messy writing?
Signatures are drawings, not text, so they are not converted. Very messy writing comes out less accurate — check the result and correct it in the text box before using it.
