Frequently asked
→How accurate is handwriting recognition?
The high-detail engine is strong on legible cursive and still readable on rushed scribble, where legacy OCR tends to give up. Clearer handwriting always reads better.
→Does it handle multiple languages?
Yes - the high-detail engine reads a wide range of languages on both the free and Pro tiers. Clearer writing always reads better.
→Will it work on a photo from my phone?
Yes. PNG, JPG or HEIC up to 8 MB - iPhone HEIC photos are converted automatically. Good lighting and contrast help.
