  • Clear, well-lit photos with high contrast text produce the most accurate OCR results.
  • Straighten tilted images before processing - skewed text reduces recognition accuracy.
  • For handwritten text, print-style handwriting is recognized much more reliably than cursive.
  • If OCR misreads characters, try increasing the image contrast or cropping to just the text region.
  • Automatic text detection (OCR)
  • Multi-language translation
  • Supports printed and some handwritten text
  • Side-by-side original and translation

  • Translate foreign language signs, menus, and labels while traveling.

OCR supports most Latin, Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic scripts. Translation supports all major world languages through the translation engine.
Printed text in good lighting is typically 95%+ accurate. Accuracy decreases with low resolution, unusual fonts, handwriting, or poor lighting conditions.
