Textract on Web Browser
Runs in any modern browser — nothing to install, works the same on any machine you log in from.
Setup on Web Browser
Download the installer
Download the latest Textract installer from the GitHub Releases page (https://github.com/bensblueprints/textract-ocr-mvp/releases) — or build it yourself from the MIT source.
Install
Run the installer — one click, no terminal, no account to create.
Run it locally
Textract runs 100% on your machine — no account, no telemetry, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off.
What works offline: everything. Textract is a desktop app — once it's installed, no feature needs a connection to us.
Textract on Web Browser — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — the full source is MIT at github.com/bensblueprints/textract-ocr-mvp, always. $19 buys the signed installer, 1-click setup and updates instead of npm i && npm start.
How accurate is the OCR?
It's Tesseract's accuracy — excellent on clean scans, screenshots and printed documents, mediocre on handwriting or heavily skewed photos. It's not a cloud vision model, and we're not claiming it is. For sensitive paperwork the trade-off is worth it: nothing gets uploaded.
