AI schedule reader
How improved schedule reading works, what it sends, and which local fallbacks remain available.
Every screenshot import starts with reading on your device. Improved reading is an optional path for crowded or hard-to-read timetables. It can use a selected image or pasted text to produce another draft. Review the result before saving.
When it runs
The local reader runs first. If improved reading is available for the import, MySched sends the selected input after you tap Continue. The current mobile flow does not show a separate consent prompt. Keep the local draft, paste the timetable text, or add classes manually if you do not want to send the input.
Improved reading is available with or without an account. It can be unavailable or temporarily limited, so the local and manual paths remain available.
What is sent
For an improved-read attempt, MySched may send:
- up to three selected schedule images, resized and compressed;
- text that MySched read from those images;
- the school you selected; and
- course-code information that helps correct the reading.
When images are present, the image is authoritative and OCR is supplementary. MySched does not send your whole photo library. Only the selected input is used.
Review and privacy
Improved reading can misread days, times, rooms, or course codes. Fix or remove anything wrong before saving. Requests are bounded by three images, a 6 MB body, and 12,000 OCR characters.
The request is sent over HTTPS. MySched does not retain the schedule payload as part of the AI request. The provider may have separate processing and retention rules. See the Privacy Policy for the current disclosure.
If the reader is unavailable
- Keep the on-device draft and correct it.
- Choose fewer, clearer images.
- Paste timetable text or add classes manually.
- Try the improved read again after a temporary provider or quota error.
