How we read photos of handwritten notes
Photos go through Google Document AI OCR, which reads print and most neat handwriting. Snap a page of your notebook or a textbook page and study it a minute later.

Things that trip people up with photos of handwritten notes
- Shadows and steep angles cost accuracy. Shoot flat, in good light.
- iPhone HEIC photos are not supported. Set the camera to Most Compatible, or screenshot the photo.
- Very messy handwriting may lose words; type up the key definitions if that happens.
