What to watch out for
GrabText is free, but OCR accuracy can vary with handwriting quality and image clarity, so neat, well-lit inputs work best. Complex layouts or dense formulas may still need manual correction. As an online service, its availability and features can change over time. When quality matters, export a small draft first to confirm the result before producing the final file. Generated suggestions are for reference only, so verify anything that affects professional judgment or important data. Save a backup of the original file before large batch jobs, and keep an exported copy of key results in case the page or service becomes temporarily unavailable.
