Question 1

Can Botan identify edible herbs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Botan’s database contains thousands of culinary and medicinal herbs and shows common uses for each one. The tool is especially helpful for fast checks before eating anything you find in the wild, since regional variants and toxic look-alikes look very similar.

Question 2

Can I use the app offline?

Accepted Answer

New scans need an Internet connection because recognition occurs in the cloud. Previous IDs and the saved library remain accessible offline, so everything you've already scanned will be available throughout the process.

Question 3

How accurate is photo-based identification?

Accepted Answer

When you identify herbs by picture, a clear, close-up image of a leaf or flower usually provides the correct answer. Blurry or incomplete photographs reduce accuracy, so position the plant correctly in the frame and, if possible, include a second photo of the stem.
