Frequently asked
→My grandmother's cursive is hard even for me. Will it work?
Pro's high-detail engine handles personal cursive far better than legacy OCR. Try one card to see.
→Can I export to my recipe app?
Most note and recipe apps import markdown directly, including Notion and Obsidian.
→What about old photocopies?
Often yes, even with fade and ghosting. Raise the contrast before scanning if you can.
