Letters are recognized from the image and converted to speech through Ondoku.

Range of image recognition

"All letters in the image" will be scanned and recognized. 

Therefore, when uploading an image, be sure to capture only the part of the image you want to read aloud.

Handwriting also works, though the accuracy will slightly decrease. 

In addition, the accuracy of recognition depends on the characters.

For example, in the example "tegaki (handwriting)" in the image comes with "tesuki (handmade)." This is probably because the writing is unclear.

Another good example is the ¥ mark found on receipt. This is often confused with "半 (half, in kanji)".

Let's try it

Did you feel complicated? No, not at all. 

Seeing is believing, just give it a try.

This function can of course be used from a PC or smartphone.

Of course, you can also use it for free. Please note that the count you can use depends on the plan.
