Frequently Asked Questions
Can GiveMeText read my messy handwriting?
Yes. The Gemini engine is specifically trained on varied handwriting styles. It handles cursive, print, mixed case, abbreviations, and even notes written at an angle. For best results, ensure good lighting and minimal blur in your photo.
What\'s the difference between the two engines for handwriting?
The Mistral engine works well for clear, printed handwriting in Latin scripts. For messy cursive, non-Latin scripts, or degraded quality photos, switch to the Gemini engine which uses advanced spatial reasoning for superior accuracy.
Can I convert whiteboard notes too?
Absolutely. GiveMeText handles whiteboard photos, blackboard chalk writing, glass board markers, and even sticky note walls. The AI adjusts for perspective distortion and varying contrast.
What output formats are available?
You get both Markdown (with preserved structure like headings, lists, and emphasis) and plain text. Copy either format into your preferred note-taking app.
