Capabilities & Limitations
HyNote utilizes massive context-window LLMs, allowing it to process large files like entire books or comprehensive technical manuals in a single prompt without losing context.
While our OCR technology is highly advanced, the accuracy of text extraction from scanned PDFs depends on the visual quality of the original document. Handwritten notes, heavily degraded scans, or highly complex engineering schematics may result in partial text recognition.
Security Note: All uploaded files are processed in a secure, sandboxed environment. You retain full ownership, and you can permanently delete your files from our servers at any time with a single click.
For the best results: Ensure scanned documents have clear contrast. If uploading data-heavy tables, native digital PDFs will yield more precise AI analysis than image-based scans.
