Your journals are full of words you can't search. InkReader turns them into text. Point your camera at a page. InkReader finds the edges, straightens the shot, and reads the handwriting — including the messy cursive that other scanners give up on. What you get back is clean, editable text, saved alongside the original page. TRY IT FREE Your first 10 pages are free. No account, no credit card, no sign-up form. Scan a page and see the transcription for yourself before you decide anything. BUILT FOR REAL HANDWRITING Most scanning apps were built for printed documents and fall apart on a handwritten page. InkReader uses AI transcription tuned for handwriting, so faded ink, slanted lines, and cursive still come through. SCAN A WHOLE JOURNAL, NOT ONE PAGE Capture page after page in one sitting — an entire journal without stopping. Open the book flat and photograph the whole spread; InkReader reads both pages. Then read it back as one continuous journal, organized by the date of each entry, not by how you scanned it. FIND ANY MEMORY IN SECONDS Search inside a journal and jump between matches, or scrub through years by month with a flick. Find the trip, the name, the argument, the recipe — without turning a single page. YOUR WORDS, YOUR DEVICE Journals are stored on your phone. There's no account and no copy on our servers. A page is sent securely to be transcribed and then discarded — never stored, never used to train AI. KEEP A COPY ANYWHERE Export any journal — or just the entries you choose — as a PDF or text file, straight to Files, iCloud Drive, email, or anywhere the share sheet reaches.

After capturing pages, the button to finish a scanning session could stop responding and leave the app stuck until it was force-quit. Finishing and cancelling a scan are both reliable again. A page scanned into a journal you had already started could be folded into the entry before it instead of appearing on its own, so the Read tab showed fewer entries than the journal had pages. Every scan now stands on its own unless a date ties it to an entry you already have. Entries can be given a title, and a date you set yourself now takes precedence over one misread from the page. Both can be edited straight from the Read tab, alongside the text. ### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-21 Scanning is lighter on your battery. Each page now does half the image processing it did before. The Read and Scans switch is far easier to see against the page, and buttons throughout the app match the floating tab bar. Your totals on the Home screen appear instantly, even with hundreds of pages saved. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-21 Fixes a scanning issue some users hit on the free plan, where the scanner could get stuck opening. The bottom navigation no longer covers the Save button while reviewing a scan. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-17 Editing an entry is fixed. Corrections you save now actually appear — previously they were saved but never shown. The editor no longer loses your place, Save sits above the keyboard where you can reach it, and the text field hugs your text. A new floating tab bar, with your journal scrolling underneath it. Getting started is quicker: two screens instead of five. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-06 Refreshed App Store screenshots. No changes to the app itself. ## More apps by Ventiq LLC - [QT: Quality Time](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/qt-quality-time/id6781821395) - [StreamMe Live](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/streamme-live/id6782957777) - [Inkrunner: Draw to Run](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/inkrunner-draw-to-run/id6787531729) - [Solo Rally](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/solo-rally/id6788852862) All apps by Ventiq LLC: https://appshunter.io/developer/1895874472 ## Related topics [ink read](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/ink-read) · [ihandbook](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/ihandbook) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
