How it reads

The picture is cleaned up, its lines of text found and straightened, and each line read by a small neural network trained for this site on hundreds of fonts. It all runs on this device.

Best with

Printed text: documents, receipts, screenshots, signs, slides. Sharp, well-lit pictures read best. Handwriting isn’t read yet, and nor are alphabets other than Latin.

Never uploaded

Pictures are read in this tab, not sent to a server, so IDs, letters and statements stay with you.
