Frequently asked
→Code from a video tutorial?
Clearly visible code extracts well. Pro's high-detail engine is sharper on dense or small text.
→Will it work on a low-resolution screenshot?
It can, but clearer images read much better. Very small text turns into anti-aliased noise.
→What about Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese?
The high-detail engine reads many scripts, including Cyrillic, Arabic and Chinese, on both tiers. Clearer images read better.
