Questions

Questions people ask

Which computers does it run on?

Mac, Windows and Linux, and it installs and updates itself. Spotlight and using your mouse and keyboard work on all three.

Do I need an AI subscription?

No. If you already have Claude or ChatGPT, sign in and Tesseract runs on it for free, without ever metering you; a Gemini API key works too. If you don't, start on the free allowance and top up only when you want more. Images, video and my voice work with nothing to connect.

Is this Tesseract related to Tesseract by Mirage?

No. This Tesseract, at tesseract.dev, is made by Eightcell Labs. It is not affiliated in any way with Mirage or its Tesseract product, or with any other product or company named Tesseract.
