What is BanglaOCR?

A Bangla-first document AI platform: printed Bangla & English OCR, and AI handwriting recognition (ICR) — images, PDFs and photos to editable text, free to use online.

Is Bangla OCR the same as Bengali OCR?

Yes. Bangla and Bengali are two names for the same language and script, so BanglaOCR works as a Bengali OCR too — Bengali image to text, PDF to text and handwriting to text.

How accurate is it?

Measured on real documents: ~99% on printed text, ~88% character accuracy on Bangla handwriting. Check the result in the editable text box before you use it.

Can it read Bangla handwriting?

Yes — it is our core specialty, powered by a proprietary AI model trained on real Bangla handwriting. Notes, letters, names, amounts in words, dates and form entries all work.

Which files can I upload?

JPG, PNG, WebP and multi-page PDFs, up to 15 MB (25 MB when signed in). Phone photos work; 300 DPI flat scans give the best accuracy.

Is the online tool really free?

Yes — completely free with a fair daily page limit per account. No watermark, no payment. Organizations with very high volumes can contact us.

How is my privacy protected?

Free-tool uploads are used to produce your result and may be used to improve and train our recognition models; you can request deletion anytime. We never sell your documents or your account data.

Do I need to sign in?

Not for your first 2 pages each day — just upload and click Start OCR. To convert more, sign in with Google or create a free account with your email: it keeps the free daily page limit fair for everyone and links your uploads to you, so you can ask us to delete them. With Google we only receive your name, email and profile picture — never your Google password.

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?

Use the free OCR tool right on the homepage with your own documents — upload and click Start OCR. Your first 2 pages each day need no sign-up.
