Frequently Asked Questions
How can I convert handwritten notebook pages into digital text?
Take a clear, well-lit photo of your notebook page (or upload a scanned PDF), select the language of your notes, and click 'Transcribe Handwriting'. You can also enable 'Ink Enhancer' if your pencil or pen strokes are faint.
Does the tool work on whiteboard photos and sticky notes?
Yes. The preprocessing canvas normalizes glossy whiteboard glare and colored marker strokes so meeting diagrams and action items convert cleanly into editable text.
How do I improve accuracy on lined paper or faint pencil writing?
Toggle the 'Ink & Lined Paper Enhancer' switch in the top bar. It boosts stroke darkness and suppresses light blue or gray horizontal notebook lines before OCR.
Can I transcribe multiple pages of handwritten class notes at once?
Yes. Drop all photographed pages of your lecture notebook into the queue, click 'Transcribe All', and download the entire chapter as one merged .TXT or Word (.DOC) file.
Are my personal handwritten journals or medical notes uploaded to a server?
Never. All image contrast filtering and optical character recognition run 100% locally inside your browser using WebAssembly.
