There is no server, and no account. β’ Text recognition runs on device using Apple's Vision framework β’ Works completely offline, even in airplane mode β’ No data collected, no tracking, no analytics β’ Full dark mode, VoiceOver and Dynamic Type β’ iPhone and iPad Free web tools ask you to upload private paperwork to a stranger's server.
