Camera access is off
Open Settings, choose Find in Camera, and enable Camera. Return to the app and point the rear camera at a printed page.
Text is not recognized
- Move closer until the print is sharp.
- Hold the device steady and keep the page flat.
- Use the flashlight button in dim light.
- Pinch the camera preview to zoom in on small print.
- Use the globe menu to select the printed language, or leave it on Automatic.
- Try high-contrast, printed text rather than handwriting or decorative lettering.
Pause and inspect
Tap the pause button to freeze the current camera frame and its match highlights. Tap the resume button to return to live recognition without losing your search or language selection.
How privacy works
Recognition happens on your device. Camera frames, recognized text, and search terms are not saved or uploaded. Only the recognition-language preference is stored locally. Read the full Privacy Policy.
