How to use it

Accuracy is best with straight, well-lit pages at 300 dpi. Handwriting is not recognised reliably.

Questions

Is my document uploaded?

No. The text-recognition engine (Tesseract) and its English language data are downloaded once from PiSpace and then run on your device.

Which languages are supported?

English. Other languages using the Latin alphabet are often recognised reasonably, without accents.
