Frequently asked questions

How many pages can I read at once?

The first 20 pages. Use Split PDF to read a longer document in parts.

Can it read Hindi scans?

Yes. Choose Hindi, or Hindi and English mixed.

Why is it slow?

Recognition runs on your own device, so a long document on a slow phone takes longer.
