MemoRay FAQ

MemoRay is a local-first document search and retrieval app for private records. It helps you search and ask questions across selected files with answers that show sources from your own documents.

MemoRay is for privacy-conscious professionals, micro-business owners, consultants, founders, and individuals who manage sensitive personal or work records.

MemoRay is useful for receipts, invoices, statements, IDs, forms, letters, scans, screenshots, and notes when those records are saved in supported file formats.

MemoRay currently imports PDFs, DOCX files, and common image files: PDF, DOCX, JPG, JPEG, and PNG. Text reading runs locally on your device. Unsupported file types are skipped during Import review and do not block supported files from importing.

MemoRay’s core document workflow is local-first. Imported documents, text reading, search, and Ask MemoRay run on your Windows device.

Network access is used for Founder Access license activation and validation, app update checks, and support forms you choose to submit. Document content is not sent to RayAI license or update services.

The current core local workflow is designed around local document processing. Download, licensing, support, recovery, or future sync features may introduce account or license flows later.

The core document workflow is designed to run locally. Some website, download, licensing, update, support, or future optional features may require internet access.

No. Your Founder Access license key activates MemoRay. The password for protected documents is created locally by you inside MemoRay. RayAI/MemoRay cannot recover that password.

MemoRay processes files you explicitly select from local file paths. If a cloud-sync folder is present locally on your device, MemoRay treats selected files as local files. Cloud-sync behavior is controlled by that provider, not MemoRay.

Ask MemoRay is retrieval-focused. It is designed to answer questions using imported documents and show the sources it used, not to act as a generic chatbot.

MemoRay should avoid unsupported answers and indicate when it cannot answer reliably from imported files.

Yes. MemoRay includes local text reading for scanned PDFs and images.

Standard documents such as reports, resumes, receipts, invoices, typed memos, and text PDFs usually work best. Some low-quality scans, rotated images, ID cards, passports, membership cards, business cards, and card-like documents may be less precise. They may be imported with a less specific document type or may miss details such as names, dates, membership numbers, or expiration dates.

You can still search the text MemoRay is able to read and review the source document yourself.

Founder Access V1 uses bundled local text reading for scanned PDFs and images. Specialized card and ID reading is not included in the first installer.

This keeps the MemoRay for Windows release simpler and fully local for document processing. If early users need stronger accuracy for scanned IDs, cards, passports, or handwriting-heavy images, advanced text-reading support remains a candidate for a future release.

Cloud AI assistants are useful for general reasoning and fluent answers. MemoRay is focused on private document memory where core workflows do not require uploading selected files to a cloud AI tool.

Local AI chat tools focus on running models locally. MemoRay focuses on document import, local processing, search, answers with sources, and user-controlled memory around selected private records.

Users remain responsible for managing their original files and local app data. Data management behavior may evolve during Founder Access, and current product limits should be reviewed in the Privacy Policy.
