How accurate is the image to text conversion?

For clear photos and screenshots with standard fonts, accuracy is very high. Blurry images, handwriting, and decorative fonts reduce accuracy.

Can I extract text from handwritten notes?

Clear, neat handwriting often works, but accuracy varies. Printed text gives the most reliable results.
