Handwriting to text,
in three steps

Photo, voice, or text

Photograph the page, talk to it, send a voice memo, or paste something you typed. Give it whatever you have, however messy it is.

01

Choose what comes back

Nine shapes: clean notes, bullet points, a table, action items, flashcards, a slide outline, an email draft, a paragraph or a report.

02

Say what to change

Make it shorter. Keep only what I have to do this week. Put the dates in a table. Add a heading for each client. Ask for anything and it is done.

03

Four ways in,
nine ways out

Pick the shape you need and it comes back written, ordered and ready to send.

Questions

Does it read cursive?

Yes. Cursive, print, a page with both. If you can't read your own writing back, it'll probably struggle too :)

What photo works best?

Flat page, decent light, whole sheet in frame. Shadows falling across the writing are what kill it.

Can I do a stack of pages at once?

Yes, but that one's Pro. Free is one page at a time.

What happens to my notes?

Photos go to the server to be read, then come straight back. Your voice never leaves the phone at all, it's transcribed right there on the device. Full detail on the privacy page.

Is my data ever sold?

No. Never.

What if it gets it wrong?

Tell it what's wrong in plain words and it redoes it. Nothing to retype.

Does it work in other languages?

Twelve. You can also write in one and ask for it back in another.

Does it need internet?

For photos and text, yes. Recording your voice works without it, but turning that recording into notes doesn't.

What does it cost?

Free to start. Pro is $3.99 a week, $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year. Sorry it can't be cheaper. Every page gets read and rewritten by models that charge per use, so the cost lands every single time someone polishes something. That is also why Pro has a monthly allowance instead of being unlimited.
