FAQ
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser. The internet is used only to download the engine and language data.
Does it read Korean well?
It works fairly well on clean printed text and screenshots. Handwriting, tilted or blurry photos are often wrong.
The result looks wrong.
Use a large, sharp photo taken straight on, and check that the language setting matches.
