Frequently asked questions
Accuracy, privacy, deployment, pricing — the straight answers.
What is BanglaOCR?
A Bangla-first document AI platform: printed Bangla & English OCR, AI handwriting recognition (ICR), and structured form data extraction — usable free online, on paid hosted plans, or fully on-premise for enterprises.
How accurate is it?
Measured on real documents: ~99% on printed text, ~88% character accuracy on Bangla handwriting, with ~84% of form fields extracted auto-confidently. Uncertain results are always flagged, never hidden.
Can it read Bangla handwriting?
Yes — it is our core specialty, powered by a proprietary AI model trained on real Bangla handwriting. Names, amounts in words, dates, and form entries all work; confidence flags mark anything uncertain.
Which files can I upload?
JPG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, BMP and multi-page PDFs. Phone photos work; 300 DPI flat scans give the best accuracy.
Is the online tool really free?
Yes, with a fair daily page limit per user. Higher volumes are served by paid plans or on-premise licensing.
How is my privacy protected?
Free-tool uploads are used only to produce your result and can be deleted on request. For guaranteed sovereignty, the Enterprise edition runs 100% on your own servers — documents never leave your infrastructure, and fully offline operation is supported.
What does on-premise deployment require?
A Linux machine with an NVIDIA GPU (16GB VRAM recommended), 32GB RAM and Docker. Installation is a single command; one mid-range GPU handles thousands of pages daily.
Can it integrate with our software?
Yes — a REST API returns structured JSON per document, designed for core banking, ERP and DMS integration. Available on Business and Enterprise plans.
Does it convert Bangla numerals to English?
No — ০১২৩৪৫৬৭৮৯ stays Bangla in the output, and Bangla text is never silently transliterated. What was written is what you get.
How do I get started?
