About Handwriting to Text
Handwriting to text is for notes that only exist on paper: lecture notes, a form filled in by hand, a letter from a relative, ideas scribbled on a notepad. Photograph or scan the page and upload a JPG, PNG, WEBP or HEIC image, or a PDF. An AI vision model reads the writing and returns it as plain, editable text.
Because it runs on an AI model, each task uses AI credits. Free users get 1 AI task a day, and VIP plans include a monthly allowance. Handwriting varies a lot, so read the result through before you rely on it, especially names and numbers. The clearer the photo, the better, with good light, the page flat and filling the frame.
