Questions

How accurate is it?

On sharp, straight, well-lit text it is very good. Skewed, dim or decorative text will have mistakes — we show you exactly what was read.

Does it read handwriting?

No — handwriting needs an AI model we haven't installed yet, and we won't pretend otherwise. Printed text is what this tool does well.

What happens to my upload?

It is processed and then deleted automatically within one hour. The text is never stored in analytics.
