Does the new text match?

It compares the letter shapes in your scan to pick the closest font, bold or regular, at the same size. You can switch fonts with the font menu.

Can it read handwriting?

No. It reads printed text. For handwriting, cover it with Whiteout and type on top.

Are my files private?

Yes. Your file opens and is edited inside your own browser. It is never uploaded to our servers.
