Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the handwriting recognition?
We achieve 90%+ accuracy on most handwriting styles. Very cursive or extremely messy writing may have lower accuracy, but you can always edit the extracted text before generating questions.
What if the OCR makes mistakes?
You can review and edit the extracted text before generating questions. Most mistakes are minor and quick to fix.
Does it work with non-English text?
Yes! We support 100+ languages including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Cyrillic scripts, and all European languages.
Can it read mathematical equations?
Yes. We recognize Greek letters, subscripts, superscripts, fractions, integrals, and common mathematical notation. Very complex LaTeX-style equations may need minor edits.
What about diagrams and charts?
We extract all text labels from diagrams, flowcharts, and figures. The AI then uses this context to create relevant questions.
