Live OCR recognizes text right inside the camera view, so you can check accuracy before saving. โ€” Clean results every time โ€” Remove noise and OCR artifacts with one tap. Use offline cleanup for privacy, or server-side cleanup for longer passages. Copy the cleaned text straight into any app. โ€” Ask your AI tutor โ€” Open a saved scan and tap "Ask AI".
