Field notes
The browser workflow accepts pasted, dropped, or camera-captured PNG, JPG, WebP, or screenshots up to 20 MB; users crop a line, then compare ranked candidates rendered with their own text. The page says a roughly 1.4 MB matcher caches after download and can run offline via WebGPU or a CPU fallback. Its catalog covers 2,004 Google Fonts families; commercial faces such as Helvetica and Gotham are excluded, and Chinese coverage is described as Latin-first.
