Screen OCR is typically compatible with major operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux. However, compatibility may vary depending on the specific software or service you are using.

The accuracy of Screen OCR depends on various factors such as image quality, font type, language recognition capabilities, and software algorithms. While it can achieve high accuracy under optimal conditions, certain complex fonts or low-quality images may affect recognition accuracy.

Yes, most modern Screen OCR tools support multiple languages. They often come with language packs or settings to enable recognition for specific languages or character sets.
