Does OCR work offline?

After the first use, the engine and language packs are cached — then it works fully offline.

Which file types can I OCR?

Text-less PDFs, scanned PDFs, and photos (JPG/PNG) of documents.

How long does recognition take?

Seconds per page on desktop; progress shows per page so long scans never feel stuck.
