Malayalam: recognition and proofreading
മലയാളം നമസ്കാരം
Review chillu forms and older print ligatures.
Choose the matching language model, upload or paste a clear image, or use the mobile camera input. Keep the page straight and well lit. Recognition is intended for printed text; handwriting, ornate fonts and low resolution may need extensive correction. Large images are reduced to a maximum 3000-pixel edge; PDF pages to 2400 pixels.

Questions about reading text from files
Are my images uploaded?
No. Recognition runs on your device. The recognition file for your language downloads from a public file host (jsDelivr) the first time you use it; that host sees a normal download request, never your image.
Is the confidence score accuracy?
No. It is the engine’s estimate. Proofread names, numbers, vowel marks and conjuncts.
Can I recognise a scanned PDF?
Yes. PDF.js renders pages one at a time, then the OCR worker recognises each image. Output is editable text and Word paragraphs, not the PDF layout.
