Common questions
What is form to JSON?
It reads a photo of a printed or handwritten form and returns a JSON object with the visible field names and values.
Is form to JSON free?
No. Form to JSON is a Pro tool. You need a Pro plan to run the extraction.
Can form to JSON read handwritten answers?
Yes, when the writing is clear and the whole form is in frame. Always check names, dates, and IDs.
Form to JSON vs handwriting to text?
Handwriting to text gives plain words. Form to JSON keeps field structure so you can paste into another system.
