Fair use only

We believe that the tool should be used for fair purposes only and that’s why Docsumo’s screenshot reader limits the number of screenshots to 30 screenshots per hour in order to avoid getting used for malicious purposes. We have no intention to offer a premium version of this tool with an extended limit as of now.
