FAQ
Practical answers about forms, documents, privacy, plans, and team use.
Before you install
What is TextsBert™?▾
TextsBert is a local-first forms and documents workflow product. It helps you move from copied details and source files to completed forms, prepared PDFs, and repeated business output with review still in your hands.
Is it only for simple web forms?▾
No. Forms are one part of the product. TextsBert also covers PDF work, OCR, conversion, reusable business data, signatures, and account-managed access.
Can I try it before paying?▾
Yes. Start with Free, use the Try page, and move to Pro when the workflow is already saving time in real work.
Filling behavior
Does TextsBert submit forms for me?▾
No. It fills fields and prepares outputs. Final submit and final confirmation stay with the user.
What if the copied text is messy or mixed?▾
That is a normal starting point. TextsBert is designed to work from messy copied text, page details, saved profiles, and repeated field decisions instead of needing a perfectly structured input.
What if a result needs correction?▾
Review is part of the workflow. TextsBert is meant to speed up the work while leaving the final check, correction, and submission in your control.
What are Quick Button and Quick Orb?▾
They are faster on-page entry points for starting a fill without relying only on the popup. Use them when you want to work directly from the page while keeping the same fill-only and review-first behavior.
Documents and PDF
Can it work with PDFs, not only forms?▾
Yes. TextsBert supports PDF filling, editing, signing, export, and document preparation as part of the product.
What happens to the original file?▾
The original file stays unchanged. TextsBert is built around exporting a new output rather than overwriting the source document.
Can it work with scanned PDFs or image-based files?▾
Yes. OCR and image-to-PDF workflows are part of the product when the source starts as a scan or an image-heavy document.
Reusable data
What are profiles, snippets, and Saved Field Rules?▾
Profiles hold repeated personal or business details. Snippets hold repeated text. Saved Field Rules remember how unusual fields should be handled on portals or forms you use again, including what TextsBert learned from teaching flows such as Teach with Examples, Teach What Text Means, and Teach Fill Order.
Can I reuse the same company details across forms and documents?▾
Yes. Reusable business data is a core part of the product, so addresses, contact details, signatures, and repeated wording do not have to be rebuilt every time.
Privacy and storage
Does my sensitive data leave my device for the main workflow?▾
The core form and document workflow is designed to stay local-first. Optional account and collaboration features are managed separately from the core work itself.
Do you require cloud AI for the product to work?▾
No. The main value proposition does not depend on mandatory cloud AI execution.
What is stored locally and what lives in my account?▾
Form and document work is designed around local handling. Billing, devices, plan status, workspace access, and related account controls live in your TextsBert account.
Can I back up or move my setup manually?▾
Yes. Manual backup, export, and import remain available from Settings, so you can keep a direct path for moving or restoring your setup when you need it.
Plans and billing
What is the difference between Free and Pro?▾
Free lets you prove the workflow. Pro expands the document surface, reusable data layer, and account or team setup for heavier repeated work.
How long is the Pro trial?▾
The Pro trial is 7 days.
What happens if I cancel Pro?▾
Your account and access history stay with TextsBert, but paid capabilities stop following the Pro entitlement once the plan ends.
Team and workspace
Can teams use TextsBert without giving up local-first control?▾
Yes. The product supports workspaces, seats, invites, and optional encrypted sync while keeping the core workflow grounded in local-first execution.
What are workspace sync and remote knowledge updates?▾
Workspace sync keeps approved shared data available across the right setups, and remote knowledge updates keep published knowledge current across the extension. They are website-backed and account-backed control-plane features, not a generic cloud AI layer replacing the local-first core workflow.
Can teammates see my private data automatically?▾
No. Team access is managed through your account and workspace settings. Shared access should be configured intentionally, not assumed.
Where do billing, devices, and workspace access live?▾
Those are managed in your TextsBert account layer rather than hidden inside the extension itself.
