What our users say
I usually take notes by hand in class, but rewriting everything on my laptop takes a lot of time. I tried uploading photos of my notes, and it actually worked better than I expected. It's really helpful when I need everything in text before exams.

A lot of my research notes are handwritten or scanned. This tool helps me turn them into text so I can search and reuse them later. It saves time, especially when working with older documents.
I like drafting ideas on paper, but editing on a screen. Being able to turn my handwritten notes into text makes that transition much easier. It feels like a natural part of my writing process now.
