How it works

From a photo of a page to text you can keep

Three beats. No retyping, no desktop scanner, no account wall.

Home screen with camera, gallery and file upload
01

Point, pick, or drop a file

Shoot the page with your camera, grab photos from the gallery, or upload a PDF. Multi-page batches are fine.

02

Keep only the page

Trim away the desk, the margin, the coffee cup. Cleaner input, better recognition — including cursive and hurried scrawl.

03

Watch the ink become text

The model reads stroke patterns in about three seconds. Then you edit inline, hear it read, translate it, or send it anywhere.

Accuracy

It reads the handwriting other scanners give up on

Classic OCR was built for printed pages. This is a handwriting model — cursive, slanted script, cramped margins, mixed print, and pages that were never meant to be read twice.

  • Lecture notes and exam answers
  • Prescriptions and clinical forms
  • Journals, letters and family recipes
  • Whiteboards and meeting scribbles

Translate what you scanned

Turn a handwritten page into English, Urdu, Hindi, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese or Turkish without leaving the app.

Translate menu with twelve languages

Every scan, searchable

History keeps each document on your device. Search finds the page by the words inside it.

Searchable history of saved scans

Scan with the camera

Capture notes in real time with edge detection, so a phone photo is as good as a flatbed scan.

Crop before you read

Isolate a paragraph, a column, or one answer — and skip everything you don’t need.

Batch pages & PDFs

Queue several images or a whole PDF, then extract the lot in a single pass.

Edit inline

Correct a name or a number right in the preview, with a live word count as you go.

Read aloud

Hear your notes back while you walk, drive, or proofread against the original page.

Copy, export, share

One tap to the clipboard, or send the text straight to notes, docs, email and chat.

Who it’s for

Built for anyone who still writes things down

Students

Digitise a semester of lecture notes into text you can search, summarise and revise from.

Researchers

Get interview notes, field books and whiteboard sessions into your documents the same day.

Teachers

Read handwritten submissions faster, and keep a typed record of every answer you grade.

Families

Preserve a grandparent’s recipe cards or old letters before the paper fades any further.

Anyone bilingual

Read a handwritten page in your own language, then export the translation in one step.

Privacy

Your notes are yours. We don’t keep them.

Pages travel over an encrypted connection, get read, and are dropped — never stored on our servers, never used to train models, never sold. History lives on your device.

Encrypted in transit

Every upload travels over TLS from your phone to the recognition service.

Never stored

Images and extracted text are discarded as soon as the result reaches your device.

FAQ

Questions people ask before downloading

Can it read messy or cursive handwriting?

Yes — that’s what it’s built for. The model handles cursive, slanted script, doctor’s notes and mixed print. Flat lighting and a straight-on photo give the most accurate result.

Is my handwriting data private?

Scans travel over an encrypted connection, get processed, and are never stored on our servers. Your documents stay in your own on-device history, and one tap deletes them.

How many scans do I get for free?

Two per day, with full extraction and copy. Pro removes the limit and adds translation, export and share.

Which languages are supported?

Recognition covers Latin-script handwriting; extracted text can be translated into English, Urdu, Hindi, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese and Turkish.

Can I scan several pages at once?

Yes. Select multiple gallery images or upload a PDF, crop each page, then extract them all in one pass.

What can I do with the extracted text?

Edit it inline, copy it, hear it read aloud, translate it, or export and share it to any other app on your phone.
