Frequently Asked Questions
- How accurate is handwriting recognition?
- Accuracy depends on handwriting clarity and photo quality. Clear, well-lit photos of standard handwriting can achieve good results. Very stylized or rushed handwriting may need more manual corrections.
- Does it support cursive handwriting?
- Yes, both print and cursive handwriting styles are supported. Clear, consistent cursive works better than highly stylized or connected scripts.
- What's the best way to photograph handwritten notes?
- Use even lighting without shadows, hold the camera steady, and make sure the entire page is in frame. A scanner or document scanning app produces the best results.
- Can it handle handwritten forms or tables?
- Formatted OCR mode can help preserve structure in handwritten forms and tables. Results vary based on handwriting clarity and layout complexity.
