questions
can it read handwriting?
no — it reads printed text. handwriting usually comes out wrong.
which languages does it read?
printed english and chinese, including digits and common symbols.
can i keep headings, lists and tables?
use image to markdown — same reading, but it marks up the structure as markdown.
does my image leave this site?
no — text is read on this site's own server, not sent to any outside ocr service.
what happens to my files?
they're deleted from the server automatically about an hour later, whether you downloaded the result or not. they're never shared or looked at.
