Frequently asked questions
Can it read handwriting?

Why is the first time slow?
The reader downloads its language files once (about 10-15 MB). After that your browser keeps them, so it is much faster.
Is it free?
Yes. The Image to Text (OCR) on Assignment Lab is completely free with no sign-up, and it works right in your browser. Nothing you type or add is uploaded.
