Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded?
No. The text is read on your device. Only the reading data for your chosen language (a few MB) is downloaded the first time.
How do I get the best results?
Use a sharp, straight, well-lit photo where the text fills most of the picture, and pick the right language.
Can it read handwriting?
Neat block letters often work, but joined-up handwriting is usually not recognised well.
