How It Works

📤 Upload Letters

The system supports:

  • Multiple images or PDFs for multi-page letters
  • Access to original document files
  • One letter submission at a time

🔍 OCR Technology

Google's OCR (Optical Content Recognition) to parse the letters, but it's not perfect and some handwriting can be challenging to read.

You can improve existing letters by:

  • Correcting transcriptions
  • Adding or refining tags
  • Providing additional context or photos

Check the help section when modifying a letter for guidance on Markdown formatting.
