Frequently asked questions

Which languages are supported?

English for now. More languages are planned.

How accurate is it?

Clear, high-contrast scans work best. Blurry or handwritten text will be less accurate.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device and nothing is stored.
