Questions people ask
Is my picture uploaded to a server?
No. The reader runs inside your browser on your device and everything stays with you. You can even go offline after the page has opened and try it.
How accurate is the reading?
It depends on the picture: clear print in good light reads far better than tilted or faded photos. Always check the text, especially numbers.
Does it read handwriting?
No, this reader is for print. In STAK, handwriting has a "Smart read" button (prepaid AI credits, only when you press it).
How many pages can I read?
It reads the first 10 pages of each PDF, and images one at a time.
