Frequently Asked Questions

Our model outperforms traditional OCR on most printed documents, with up to 99% accuracy when the input is good quality and the text is in English or using the Latin alphabet. Handwriting accuracy varies widely based on legibility, style, and language, typically ranging from 70% to 90% for clearer samples. Accuracy may be lower for poor quality images or non-Latin scripts. To be frank, we are not sure any technology will ever be able to read what your doctor wrote on that prescription.

Input: JPG, PNG. Output: DOCX, HTML, TXT, Markdown.
