What happens to my text and images?

Your privacy is protected. All text recognition happens on your device using Apple's Vision Framework. Your scanned content never leaves your device. Only anonymous usage analytics are collected (opt-out in Settings).

How do subscriptions work and can I cancel anytime?

Subscriptions are handled through Apple's App Store for secure payment management. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime through your Apple ID settings. Changes take effect at the next billing cycle, and you keep access until the current period ends.

Can I just select a single word, sentence or paragraph?

Yes. It's called Selectable text (Select-Hold-Speak-Selection). It allows Pro users to select specific portions of text to speak, rather than the entire document.
