Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers about privacy, limitations, and how Handwriting to PDF functions.

How does the in-place handwriting OCR work?
DocuDev detects word-level bounding boxes across your handwritten notes and redraws clean digital typography at the exact coordinates, preserving indentation, margins, and section gaps.
Is my handwritten document uploaded to any server?
No. Optical character recognition (OCR) and PDF rendering run 100% locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your notes and medical documents remain completely private.
What is the difference between Same Layout and Reflow mode?
'Same Layout' preserves the visual position of every word on the page, while 'Reflow' restructures the text into continuous clean prose paragraphs.
