FAQ
Does it work on dark mode screenshots?
Usually, but contrast matters. If recognition misses text, lighten the screenshot first.
What if a number is split across two lines?
Each line is checked separately, so a number broken over a line break may slip through. Check the preview.
Is the image uploaded?
No.
