FAQ

Want to talk with the developer?

I would be more than happy to help everyone of you. But you need to understand that I am not a very free person. So, I created a place where we all can talk and help each other out. It is better to talk in a better place than in email. It is difficult to keep track of all emails and answer one by one. There is a better way to communicate. Please join to my channel at Discord and we can talk about everything. The best thing is you will find the community.

How to Tweak Settings to achieve higher result?

Follow this screenshot. Note that these settings makes search engine temporarily block searches faster than it would normally.

1. IP Address problem is frequent and didn't understand what to do to for that.

Internally app usage popular search engine to make a guess. However search engine has limitation of certain number of queries in certain interval. So, if you tap too frequently, the chances are you will encounter the issue more often. To quickly solve this issue you have to have your IP address changed.

2. How can I change IP address?

If you are on WIFI => Restart Router(impractical) or switch to data

If you are on Data=> Toggle aeroplane mode or switch to wifi

If that doesn't help, there is nothing app could do. Try to not click more often

3. Is it good to use advanced search as it is saying Google will block my ip temporarily

Since the app has Bing as fallback search engine, you will not be locked out. Also bing looks promising. My opinion is that you should. More the data, more is the accuracy. You can achieve it by setting some of the advanced options from settings screen.

Error Messages

Error Message	Explanation
No text found in the screen.	When you clicked the floating bar, the app tried to find text in the area that you had specified when you created the profile. But no text was detected in that area.
Unable to distinguish question and options	the app was not able to break the detected text into 4 categories (1 Question and 3 options) Either you are trying to use the selected profile in wrong image/app/screen [Try with the right app/image]. OR you did not select the area properly when you were creating profile.[Delete profile and select area again properly]
Question could not be found.	In the question area you specified while creating profile, there was no text present. Either you are trying to use the selected profile in wrong image/app/screen [Try with the right app/image]. OR you did not select the area properly when you were creating profile.[Delete profile and select area again properly]
Options could not be found.	In the options area you specified while creating profile, there was no text present
Unable to distinguish options.	Text in options area was either was too short or the text was not in 3 lines. Either you are trying to use the selected profile in wrong image/app/screen [Try with the right app/image]. OR you did not select the option area properly when you were creating profile.[Delete profile and select area again properly]</li OR if options are single digit or letters, OCR most probably failed to detect. At the moment there is no solution.
Traffic temporarily blocked By Search Engine. Please restart data	Every click makes 2 google searches, When you do too many clicks in short duration time(eg. 15 minutes), Google mostly tries to block the search from happenning. Try to limit the number of clicks to prevent this from hapenning faster if you were on wifi, switch to data and vice versa if you are on data and cannot switch to wifi, turn on aeroplane mode and turn back to off. This way you will get your IP address renewed and app should start working.
Operation timed out. Took longer than x secs	If the app takes more than x seconds to bring you the result, it will stop its operation and gives you this message so that you would not keep waiting for answer until its too late. If you want to increase timeout Go to Settings-> Timeout.
No results found	The searches were made but none of the words from any one of the options were present in the search result. Try tapping the view again to see if helps. Sometimes, weak internet might also cause this which is rare though.
Same results for all options	Like the message says, all of the options had exact same count of the words in the search result. So, again, use your own judgement as app doesn't have any information for you to help you in this particular question. Sometimes, tapping again might give you result though.
Uncertain between optionX and optionY	Based on the statistics app gathered from search result, 2 of the options had exact same number of repetition of the words. So, app is not able to find clear winner. So, decide among one of them if you have no personal opinion.
Network TriviaError. Please try again	The app was not able to get search result from the search engine specified. Mostly related to connectivity or parsing issue. Check your internet connectivity If you have tinkered settings from Settings screen, you might have provided wrong search engine URL. Double check it.
Unknown error. Please restart the app	Sometimes, bad things happen which is unfortunate. To prevent app from crashing, this message is shown as toast. In this case, your best bet is to dismiss the floating bar of the app and start again.

How to:

1. How to select area for apps whose question area and option area cannot be precisely selected ?

If the area of the question and answer cannot be distinctly separated into two areas, you can also specify them as single block. There are some videos created by fans. Try this link to reach them in youtube.
