# Scans and photos you can search.

When you add a scanned PDF or a picture of a page, nerix reads the text so you can search it and ask questions about it, with answers that point to the page. A stand alone page that returns the text as a file is still to come.

02 Questions

## Questions

Can I download the text as a file? +

Printed text reads best. Handwriting varies a lot, so check the result.
