Can it read text from product UI and dashboards?

Yes. It is a good fit for interface labels, menu items, analytics dashboards, dialogs, and other screen-based text.

Does it work for code or terminal screenshots?

It can help with code and terminal screenshots, especially when the text is clear and high contrast. You should still review indentation and symbols carefully.

What if the screenshot has a complex background?

It can still work, but overlays, gradients, tiny fonts, or low-resolution captures may reduce reliability. Cropping to the important region usually helps.

When should I use image-to-text instead?

Use screenshot OCR when the source is clearly a screen capture or UI image. Use image-to-text for more general photos, labels, or non-screen image content.
