It works well! I use it to proofread my writing as a copywriter. I love the human-sounding voice it helps me detect errors in my writing that need to be corrected. I can't wait to use it for more tasks.

Does well with pdfs of physical book scannings. I was quite surprised but pleasantly so.

Azrael Santiago, 2025-01-21

I haven't had a chance to do as much with it that I want to do. But I'm excited so far about what it can do, and what I am going to do with it.
