FAQ
Why can’t I find the Scan Text entry?
- Make sure you are using WPS Office for iOS and that a Writer document is already open.
- Tap Tools at the bottom, then open the Insert tab and look for Scan Text.
- If it still does not appear, update WPS Office to a newer version and sign in again.
What should I do if the recognized text is inaccurate?
- Use a clear, flat image or a well-lit capture environment whenever possible.
- Re-select the scan area more precisely so background elements, shadows, or unrelated graphics are not included.
- Prioritize printed text, then proofread the result after extraction.
Can I recognize text directly from a photo in my album?
- Yes. Open Tools → Insert → Scan Text.
- Tap the Photos button and choose an image.
