Questions

Why are some words wrong?

Blurry, tilted or very small text is hard to read. Try a sharper picture and the right language.

Why pick the language?

The reader uses word lists for that language. The right one makes the result much more accurate.

Can it read a PDF?

Not directly. Save the PDF pages as JPG with PDF to JPG, then read each picture here.

How much does it cost?

Files up to 10 MB are free. A bigger file needs a 24-hour pass for €1.00, taxes included. No account.
