## FAQ
429+
430+
### What Languages are Supported?
431+
432+
The OCR add-on supports multiple languages including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Portuguese.
433+
434+
Contact [support](mailto:support@dynamsoft.com) if you need to OCR documents in other languages.
435+
436+
### What are the Hardware Requirements?
437+
438+
The OCR add-on requires a 64-bit operating system and at least 4GB of RAM for optimal performance.
439+
440+
### Can I Limit the Region for OCR?
441+
442+
Yes. You can specify which regions for OCR using the `rects` option of the [`recognize()`](/_articles/info/api/Addon_OCR.md#recognize) function.
443+
444+
### Will My Document be Uploaded to a Remote Server?
445+
446+
No. The OCR process happens locally on your machine. No data is sent to any remote servers.
447+
448+
### What is Searchable PDF?
449+
450+
A searchable PDF is a type of PDF file where the text content is recognized by a computer. This means you can use the Find function (usually Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) to search for specific words or phrases within the document, just like you would on a webpage or in a Word document.
451+
452+
The OCR add-on supports two kinds of searchable PDF output.
453+
454+
* Plain-text PDF, which will only keep a text layer of the OCRed text for each page.
455+
* Extra-text-layer PDF, which will add an extra invisible text layer of the OCRed text above each page.
