Common questions
Which languages are supported?
English text gives the best results.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The pages are read in your browser.
Why does the first scan take longer?
The text recogniser (about 7 MB) is downloaded the first time a scanned page needs it. Pages that already hold text are read straight away.
