Your chosen image will be scanned for text, using high-quality OCR (powered by ABBYY), and the text in the image will be inserted into ClaroSpeak. ***Minimum camera spec: 2MP*** • Word Prediction & Autocorrection Word prediction helps with writing more quickly and accurately. Train dictionaries from the current text so the best suggestions come up first.
