About the Image to Text (OCR)
OCR accuracy depends almost entirely on the input. A straight, well-lit, high-contrast image of printed text will come out near-perfect; a blurry angled photo of a page in shadow will not. Straighten the image and crop to just the text before running it. Handwriting remains far harder than print for any OCR engine. Recognition runs in your browser, so scans of personal documents stay on your device.
