Good when it works

Very often it is pronouncing words wrong , needs updating on recognition of different font styles and perhaps to be able to recognise handwriting would be really great.
It is good when it reads text correctly though.

Doesn’t always pick up text

It doesn’t always pick up text and does not recognise a variety of fonts like cpen
