Three seconds a page

  1. 1

    Photograph

    The camera finds the edges of the page and straightens the shot for you. Keep going, page after page.

  2. 2

    The text comes out

    Handwriting included. Headings, lists and tables keep their shape.

  3. 3

    The note writes itself

    Summary, key points, questions worth digging into. Edit it, share it, ask it anything.

What you can scan

  • Handwritten notes

    Your lectures, a notebook, a whiteboard you photographed.

  • Printed documents

    Contract, lease, quote, letter from the administration.

  • Book pages

    A chapter, an article, a bibliography.

  • Leaflets and labels

    Instructions, a prescription, what is in a product.

Common questions

Does it read handwriting?

Yes. Legible handwriting comes through well, crossings-out and margin notes included. A page that is too blurred or too skewed is flagged so you can retake it before the note is created.

How many pages per document?

As many as you like. Pages stack into the same scan and become one note, in the order you took them. You can drop one or retake it before you confirm.

Which languages?

The text comes out in whatever language the document is written in. The note itself is written in your phone's language, and you can ask for a translation afterwards.

What happens to my photos?

They are sent encrypted and hosted in France. You will find them in the note, page by page, and you can delete them whenever you want.

Can I ask questions about a scanned document?

Yes, the same as any other note. Ask for a date in a contract, a summary of a chapter, flashcards from a lecture, or the text of one particular page.
