Show HN: I was tired of bad image translations, so I built my own tool

Hello,

I built VerbaScan because I was tired of image translation tools that constantly failed me.

The usual problems:

    Incorrect translations

    Phrases taken out of context

    No support for handwritten text

Verbascan takes a smarter approach — it focuses on meaning, not just swapping words. You upload an image and get a translation that actually makes sense.

Would love your feedback!

Some example images would help. The homepage doesn't mention handwritten (only in the terms-of-service page)

You're absolutely right, thanks a lot! I'll do that
