## What is Hanashigaki?

Talk through your photos and get Markdown notes.
Made for travel notes, photo journals, blog ideas, and quick memos. Skip the blank page: look at a photo and say what comes to mind.

"Hanashigaki" (ha-na-shi-ga-ki) blends the Japanese words for "talk and write" and "draft."
- Flip through your photos and talk naturally
- Your words become notes, filed under each photo (you can type instead when speaking is awkward)
- Work with headings and text in Markdown
- Optionally let AI shape them into a draft with headings (10 runs free in total)
- Export as Markdown, HTML, or ZIP for your blog or journal app
- Available in 8 languages, including English and Japanese
