Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Yes. Free with no sign-up, no watermark and no hidden limits on pages or files beyond what your device can handle.
Are my files uploaded?

How accurate is it?
Very good on clear printed text (often 98%+). Handwriting, low light and curved pages reduce accuracy – take the photo straight and in good light.
