Frequently asked
Questions before you upload?
Does it actually handle Polish characters?
Yes. Polish (code: pl) is one of the 100+ languages supported end-to-end — OCR detection, output, and one-click translation. Characters, accents, and scripts specific to Polish are preserved in the output.
Can I translate the Polish text after extraction?
Yes. Once the Polish text is extracted, you can translate it into English or any of 100+ supported languages in a single click. The translation runs in the same flow.
Does it work on handwritten Polish?
Printed Polish is most accurate. Handwritten Polish is supported but accuracy depends on legibility — the same as handwriting recognition in any other language.
How accurate is the OCR?
Reliable on clean printed text and on photos shot in normal lighting. Handwriting and low-contrast scans are harder and land lower. The cleaner the source image, the cleaner the output.
What happens to my files after I scan them?
Files are sent over TLS and stored encrypted with your scan history. Free-tier history is kept 30 days; paid plans keep it until you delete it, as long as you stay subscribed.
Is it really free?
