Frequently asked questions
Which languages are recognized?
English and Portuguese simultaneously, which covers mixed text such as documents containing technical English terms.
How can I improve accuracy?
Use sharp images with horizontal text and good contrast. Screenshots work almost perfectly; phone photos improve a lot with good lighting.
Does it work with handwriting?
The engine is optimized for printed text. Very regular handwriting may partially work, but handwriting in general is not the ideal use case.
