Frequently asked questions
What images work best?
Sharp, well-lit images with dark text on a light background. Crop to the text area for better results.
Can it read handwriting?
Printed text works best; neat handwriting sometimes works, messy handwriting usually doesn't.
Is my image uploaded?
No — recognition runs on your device. Only the OCR engine is downloaded once.
