When the material you want to study is on paper, in a textbook, in a lecture screenshot, or in a photo on your phone, you do not have to type it out manually. Aelano can recognize the text, put it into the text input flow, and turn the reviewed result into learnable audio and subtitles.
Open the Aelano Home page and look in the import panel:
You can also find the same entry in the expanded import list.
Common image formats are supported, including:
jpg, jpeg, png, heic, heif, webp, bmp, gif, tiff, and tif
Each image must be no larger than 10 MB. If the original is too large, crop or compress it before scanning.
On mobile, take a photo of a page or choose an existing image from your album. On desktop, choose a screenshot, downloaded image, or scan from the file picker.
If you select several images at once, each image becomes a page in the recognition screen. A thumbnail strip at the top lets you switch between pages and keep them in order.
The recognition screen supports two approaches:
New images added during the same import follow the current recognition language setting, so you do not have to answer the same question for every page.
The result appears progressively in the editor. Once recognition finishes, you can correct a typo, remove headers and footers, restore a missing word, or adjust the paragraphs.
The recognition screen also supports:
Tap the + card at the end of the thumbnail strip to add another image. When every page looks right, tap Next in the top-right corner. Aelano merges the text in page order and sends it to the Text Input screen.
You can edit it again there, then tap Preview to generate the content.
What should I do if no text is recognized?
Make sure the image contains clear, visible text and is under 10 MB. You can also take a clearer photo, choose another image, or use Crop & rescan on a smaller area.
My image contains both Chinese and English. Can I keep only English?
Yes. Choose English as the target language and Aelano will keep only that language in the result. Choose Full scan when you want to keep the whole page.
Where does the recognized text go?
After you tap Next, the text goes to the Text Input screen. You can edit it there, preview it, and generate the study content.
