Questions
Why is the text coming out wrong?
Usually low resolution, a skewed angle or poor contrast. A straight-on photo in good light, at 300 DPI or better, improves results dramatically.
Does it read handwriting?
Not reliably. It is built for printed text.
How long are my files kept?
Two hours, then they are deleted automatically. You can also delete them immediately from the result screen.
Is there a watermark?
No. What you download is exactly what the tool produced.
