Hello,

I built VerbaScan because I was tired of image translation tools that constantly failed me.

The usual problems:

    Incorrect translations

    Phrases taken out of context

    No support for handwritten text
Verbascan takes a smarter approach — it focuses on meaning, not just swapping words. You upload an image and get a translation that actually makes sense.

Would love your feedback!

I expected "see it in action" to be a demo you can try before signing up.

    That’s totally fair — thanks a lot for pointing that out! I’ll work on adding a quick demo you can try without signing up.

Some example images would help. The homepage doesn't mention handwritten (only in the terms-of-service page)
