Get text you can actually use.

InkText turns photos of handwriting and printed pages into clean, editable text — including the hard part every other OCR app fails at: real cursive.

HERE'S THE DEAL, UP FRONT
Free gets you unlimited printed-text scanning (on-device, offline) plus 10 AI handwriting scans every month. Every export — copy, .txt, PDF, share — is free, forever. Pro is $2.49/month, $9.99/year, or $24.99 once for unlimited AI scans. That's the whole pricing page. No surprises after you've scanned 15 pages.

TWO ENGINES, ONE APP

✏️ AI handwriting mode — reads cursive, messy notes, journals, old letters. Powered by a vision AI that transcribes exactly what's on the page, line by line.

📄 On-device mode — printed text is recognized right on your phone. Free, unlimited, and it works with no internet at all. Airplane mode? Basement archive? Still works.

YOUR WORK IS NEVER HELD HOSTAGE

Some handwriting-to-text apps let you scan for free, then lock the copy button behind a subscription. We think that's hostile. In InkText:

• Copy to clipboard — always free
• Export to .txt and PDF — always free
• Share sheet to any app — always free
• Your documents stay on your device, in your library, searchable

BUILT FOR REAL DOCUMENTS

• Side-by-side view: your photo above, the transcription below — check every line
• Fix a word? Tap and edit right in the app
• Language hints for English, Español, Français, Deutsch, Italiano, Português, Nederlands, Polski
• Documents auto-save to your library the moment they're created
• Dark mode included

WHAT INKTEXT IS GOOD FOR

Digitizing handwritten notes and meeting scribbles, transcribing journals and family letters, converting whiteboard photos, turning printed handouts into editable text, OCR for cursive documents, homework and study notes, handwriting to text for archives.

HONEST LIMITS

AI handwriting mode sends a compressed copy of your photo to our transcription server (encrypted in transit, never sold, not used to train anything). If you only ever scan printed text, nothing leaves your phone. Cancelling Pro takes one tap in Play's subscription screen — no retention maze.
