First use loads the OCR engine. Later use can work from your browser cache.
No. Recognition runs with Tesseract compiled to WebAssembly in your browser, so the image and the extracted text stay on your device — unusual for OCR, which is normally a cloud service.

OCR is not perfect on low-quality or stylized input. A sharper, well-lit, straight-on image of printed text gives the best results.
