How to upload a handwritten concept
Photograph or scan your handwritten page in good light, add it as the handwritten concept in the Input step, press Read inputs, then check the text EasySeer read and press Save corrections. Later steps use that corrected text.
EasySeer's workflow begins with your concept, so the quality of the upload shapes everything after it. These steps give the cleanest reading.
Before you start
- Your concept on paper, written in dark ink
- A phone or scanner
- A project already created

- 1
Prepare the page
Write clearly with dark ink. Keep one idea per page where possible.
