About Bangla OCR Online
This Bangla OCR page is set up with the Bangla and English language data, so a page that mixes both scripts is read in one pass. It is free, needs no sign-up and runs in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded.
The Bangla data (ben) downloads from jsDelivr the first time you read text, and the picture stays on your device. Printed Bangla in a common typeface works best. Handwriting, very decorative fonts and old print with broken letters give poor results.
Bangla has many joined letters, and OCR can break or swap them, so read the output against the picture. Words under 60 percent confidence are marked red. Use a sharp, straight photo and try Enlarge 2x for small print. You can copy the text or download a TXT file.
How to use Bangla OCR Online
- Add a picture: drop it on the box, tap to choose a file, paste it, or press Take a photo on a phone. PDFs are read page by page, up to 10 pages.
- Tick the languages that appear in the picture. Pick only the ones you need, since each one is downloaded.
- If the picture is tilted, press Rotate 90 degrees. For a faint or noisy scan turn on Grayscale, and try Black and white to remove the background.
- For small text, such as a screenshot, choose Enlarge 2x.
- Press Read text. The card says when the engine is ready; English starts loading when the page opens.
- Check the amber and red words, then press Copy or Download TXT.

Privacy: how it works
- Pictures and PDFs are read in your browser and are never uploaded to Ulkaa or to anyone else.
- The OCR engine and the language data are downloaded from jsDelivr (English as the page opens, other languages when you pick them). Those requests do not include your picture.
Tips
- Photograph the page straight on, in even light, with the text filling most of the frame.
- Choose only the languages in the picture. Extra languages slow the read and can add wrong words.
- If the result is poor, try Grayscale, then Black and white, then Enlarge 2x, one at a time.
- Check numbers, names and codes by eye. OCR often swaps 0 and O, 1 and l, 5 and S.
