This app comes closest ### 5/5 — This is a great app! *2024-10-09, version 1.5* So far it’s working fine 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Works well *2024-08-25, version 1.4* Simple, it works well ### 5/5 — Works perfectly *2024-08-12, version 1.4* Very useful for students. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2024-08-05, version 1.4* This is an excellent app… no words to describe its efficiency… ### 5/5 — Opo *2024-07-21* Perfect ### 5/5 — The best for me speech *2024-07-18* … ### 5/5 — Loving this app *2024-06-13* It’s so helpful to take notes, so I can focus on listening to the professor instead of writing detailed notes… ### 5/5 — Very good *2024-05-29, version 1.4* I like it a lot ### 4/5 — Sweet pea *2024-05-23* ' Good app but didn't differentiate the columns of my writing ### 5/5 — Great service *2024-05-06* Always quick and polite staff.

I’m only putting 1 Star, because it’s the only way to proceed *2021-03-29, version 1.2* I am not rating this app right now, because I’ve only uploaded one document, to see how it works and the app forced me to come here to rate it! There was no option to even look at what the results were from the upload! ### 2/5 — Expensive *2025-05-18* Decent app if ur willing to pay monthly ### 2/5 — 2 page a day limit *2025-03-01* Worked (with the every single line is its own paragraph problem, making it an absolute pain to copy elsewhere) but had a two page a day limit before paywall. ### 2/5 — It tries to work *2022-08-24* I know I have bad handwriting but it’s not that bad. It couldn’t read half of what I wrote. It also randomly added paragraph breaks that had nothing to do with the page or fitting it on the phone screen. There’s limited options for sending it. I would have loved to see it work with google docs. ### 2/5 — It’s ok *2021-07-26* So far it’s ok but most of the words are just gibberish, it might be the writing though ### 2/5 — Renewed subscription but again asking for payment *2020-12-15, version 1.2* Renewed subscription but again asking for payment ### 3/5 — Was good - now won’t load *2026-04-20* I loved this app - been using it for months to complete coursework and type up written notes. Used it last night and it was fine. Just tried to open it this morning and it won’t load. I’ve tried everything from reinstalling it numerous times to restarting my phone and it just freezes now. I’m assuming it’s because I am using the £3.99 version and developer has brought out a £6.99 version and they want to force people into using that one. Well - that kind of greediness irritates me so I’ve cancelled my subscription. Shame. ### 3/5 — Good tool, bad business practice *2025-12-27* I first wanted to test the product. But just after two - just only two! - trials I was forced to pay. Far worse: there was no useful information on the App Store about the cost conditions. As I‘m unable to test the tool thoroughly I will not recommend or value anything. Sorry guys! ### 3/5 — Excellent text recognition but note that you get one sample page only *2024-11-05, version 1.7* Really impressed by the single page it allowed but as a low-volume scanning user, I was surprised that it allows just one test page before asking for payment. It does run an ad on the free single scan too, so I find this model a little too restrictive and will keep looking for an app that gives low volume users the benefit of the doubt, and uses advertising to subsidise our minimal usage. ### 3/5 — Write to Text *2024-05-25, version 1.4* Does what it’s supposed to ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Loving this so far *2025-11-22* So far so good ### 5/5 — J’aime beaucoup *2025-09-25* Une application qui me fait sauver beaucoup de temps. Merci ### 5/5 — Vood *2025-08-14, version 1.7.5* Good ### 5/5 — Thesis writing *2025-08-10* This as the best handwriting to text app I have found! It can read pencil, pen, strikethrough, even my super sloppy middle of the night jotted down to get it out of my head notes. There are a few words lost in translation and a few random symbols added that you have to remove when proofreading but it’s usually where I can barely read my own writing so I don’t blame the app. Awesome find for an amazing price! ### 5/5 — Save on reams of paper *2025-05-18* I use rewritable paper books and then upload the text to my laptop. Works well considering I have terrible writing ### 5/5 — Note *2025-03-21* I have ADHD and I’m in college and I have a note taker his had written is not so good and I need help understanding it he will send me pictures of the notes because sometimes my professor will go a little bit too fast and the person is my no taker has a little bit of a not so good handwriting. I was looking for a good app that will help me and this has really helped me break down his handwriting and put it all in a way that I can understand it, I really do appreciate it a lot. Thank you so much for this. ### 5/5 — Works well *2025-03-18, version 1.7.3* Simple to use and accurate! ### 5/5 — Note *2025-02-25* I have ADHD and I’m in college and I have a note taker his had written is not so good and I need help understanding it he will send me pictures of the notes using this app help me a lot ### 5/5 — APP *2025-01-19, version 1.7.1* excellent ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2024-12-11* Easy process with outstanding results. My first attempt was scanning a letter in German and the app worked wonderfully… --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
