It's powered by deep learning, and it's way better and more accurate than the current desktop version that's linked here.
I'm certainly not going to start taking photos of my monitor here, anyway!
Odd.
copies the image straight into the clipboard, no detritus to your desktop. many web apps will just accept the cmd +V paste like an uploaded file.
Does it struggle with photos of screens in particular?
Oh, so it's actually a useless tool then. Thanks for the clarification.
MyFonts is one of the best font sites I know of, with a huge selection of fonts and top designers. There are regular offers on new fonts, and informative interviews (great for discovering typefaces).
I find WTF very useful. Sure, it's not perfect, and I continue to hope for better accuracy and results. I'm glad to hear they're working on it.
"Useless" is a bit strong, but the comment emphasizes the tool's most important limitation.
I might've said "Since WhatTheFont doesn't include fonts typically used on web sites, this tool is radically more effective when identifying fonts used in printed materials."
I'd like to understand if the team considers this to be a problem that they plan to solve, or if WhatTheFont will only identify fonts that they can monetize. (No judgement either way.)
