Questions and answers
Does recognition always get every word right?
No. Blurry scans and handwriting can give poor results. Check names, dates and numbers. Recognition here is in English.
Will my original change?
No. Download a separate copy when you are happy with the result.
What if the job fails?
No file is downloaded and your free downloads are not used. Keep your original and try another copy.
