FAQ
Questions you are most concerned about before downloading
What does CapKnow recognize?
CapKnow is designed for multi-scene recognition: plants, animals, insects, birds, rocks, buildings, artworks and daily objects. The clarity and object characteristics of different photos will affect the recognition results.
Are the recognition results necessarily accurate?
Absolute accuracy is not promised. CapKnow provides clues to possible outcomes and explanations, and reminds you to seek professional judgment in high-risk scenarios.
Why do you need personal information?
One-time identification solves immediate curiosity, and personal knowledge solves long-term retention. You can save travel, flower gardening, bird watching, parent-child learning and museum records.
Will the sharing page reveal privacy?
Default is private record. Sharing cards are only generated when you actively share; content containing sensitive locations, faces, photos of children or family environments should avoid public dissemination.
