Frequently asked questions
What languages are supported?⌄
Simplified and Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish, German, Russian and Portuguese. For mixed documents choose the combined options like “中文 + English” — they recognize both scripts in one pass.
Does it work on PDFs?⌄
Yes — scanned PDFs are rendered page by page (up to 20 pages) and each page is OCR'd, with the text joined in order. For text-based PDFs you can simply select-and-copy in any PDF reader without OCR.
How do I get the best accuracy?⌄
Use sharp, well-lit, straight-on captures — 300 DPI scans are ideal. Avoid heavy compression, skew and colored backgrounds. Handwriting is not supported; printed text works best.
