⭐ Leave a review on G2Medical professionals often write quickly under time pressure, producing handwriting that is famously difficult to read. Studies have shown that medical handwriting errors contribute to thousands of preventable medication errors annually. Digital tools that can accurately read prescriptions and medical documents serve a genuine public health need. DoctorDocs uses advanced LSTM neural networks specifically optimized for the types of character patterns found in medical documents — abbreviations like "mg", "bid", "prn", and "q.d." that standard OCR engines often misread.
Medical documents contain Protected Health Information (PHI) that falls under strict privacy regulations like HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) in the United States, GDPR in Europe, and similar laws worldwide. When processing medical documents online, the critical question is: does your data leave your device? DoctorDocs addresses this concern with a hybrid architecture. Standard OCR processing happens entirely in your browser using local WebAssembly — your medical document never touches a server. For advanced AI interpretation features, data is sent via encrypted connections to enterprise-grade APIs that process and immediately discard the data, with no logging or storage of PHI.
DoctorDocs medical tools are designed to help you read and understand the text in your medical documents. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The text extraction is a technical process — we convert images of text into digital text. We do not interpret medical results, recommend treatments, or provide diagnoses. Always consult your physician, pharmacist, or qualified healthcare provider for questions about your health, medications, or treatment plans. If you believe you have a medical emergency, call your local emergency services immediately.
For the best OCR accuracy on medical documents, lay the document on a flat, well-lit surface. Use your phone's camera at full resolution and hold it directly above the document (not at an angle). If the document has thermal paper printing (like many pharmacy receipts), scan it as soon as possible — thermal prints fade over time. Use our Magic Enhance tool to boost contrast on faded or low-contrast documents before running OCR. For multi-part prescription forms with carbon copies, scan the darkest copy for best results.
