Questions
Is this medical advice?
No. Explayn explains words and numbers so you can follow your own results and talk to your doctor about them — it does not diagnose.
Is what I highlight kept?
Only the words you highlight are sent, and only to answer you; Explayn doesn’t keep them. The privacy page has the detail.
Does it work on a scanned letter?
Yes — screenshot it and Explayn reads the picture.
