Dependent vowel signs (matras)
Kannada consonants inherently possess the short vowel /a/ and combine with attached vowel signs, such as ಕಿ (ki), ಕು (ku), and ಕೃ (kṛ), which require high scan clarity to distinguish subtle accents.

Kannada script and orthographic characteristics
Key orthographic features, vowel matras, and consonant conjuncts in Kannada document conversion.
Subscript conjuncts (vattakshara)
Consonant clusters stack using subscript consonant signs known as vattakshara or ottu (for example ಕ್ಲ kla, ಕ್ಷ ksha, and ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ Karnataka). High-resolution inputs prevent merged or broken ligatures.
Coordinating conjunction & numerals
Sentences frequently link clauses with the coordinating conjunction ಮತ್ತು (mattu, meaning “and”). Native Kannada digits (೦, ೧, ೨, ೩, ೪, ೫, ೬, ೭, ೮, ೯) are transcribed into standard Unicode codepoints.

Can I include detected images?
Yes. Include detected images is on by default. Keep it on to attempt to place detected logos, signatures, stamps, and other figures in the output, or turn it off for text and document structure only.
Does this converter support printed and handwritten Kannada text?
Printed Kannada text is supported. Handwriting recognition is not supported for this language and script. Review names, numbers, and document formatting before using the result.
Which Kannada image formats can I upload?
You can upload PNG, JPG/JPEG, and WebP images. This converter accepts supported image files only.
Does the converter create an editable Markdown file?
Yes. Each conversion creates a downloadable .md file containing editable plain text and detected Markdown structure.
Can I translate Kannada image text to another language Markdown?
Yes. Leave Translate To set to None to keep the original language, or select a supported language to translate the Markdown file.
Do I need to select Kannada before converting?
No. AlgoOCR detects the source text automatically. Translate To controls whether the output keeps its original language or is translated to a supported language.
Will headings, lists, and tables be preserved?
AlgoOCR uses detected document structure to represent headings, lists, and tables where possible. Complex layouts may still need review.
Can I convert more than one Kannada image?
The free demo accepts 1 file and converts 1 page. To process several files together, verify your account and use purchased Page Credits in Dashboard.
Will the Markdown file look exactly like the source?
Markdown keeps editable content and detected structure, but fixed layout, spacing, typography, and positioned elements may be represented differently.
Can I upload Kannada PDFs on this converter?
No. This converter accepts PNG, JPG/JPEG, and WebP images only. For PDF files, use the Kannada PDF to Markdown converter.
How does the converter process tables found in Kannada screenshots?
Recognized tables are converted into clean Markdown table blocks with pipe separators, preserving column headers and data rows.
What scan quality produces optimal Kannada image-to-Markdown recognition?
High-contrast images with sharp character contours at 300 DPI produce optimal recognition on intricate Kannada vowel matras and subscript ottu forms.
Is the extracted Kannada Markdown compatible with Obsidian and Notion?
Yes. Standard Markdown syntax and Unicode Kannada characters are natively compatible with modern note-taking apps and documentation repositories.
